A 3391 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires law enforcement agencies, correctional facilities, and State Parole Board to adopt maternity policies.

This bill (A3391) requires New Jersey law enforcement agencies (including police departments, sheriffs' offices, and correctional facilities), the State Parole Board, and the New Jersey Transit Police to adopt written maternity policies for officers who provide proof of pregnancy. The policies must include protections against pregnancy discrimination, equal treatment as temporarily disabled officers, procedures for light-duty assignments based on medical needs, exemption from firearms training during pregnancy, and accommodations for uniform or equipment modifications. These policies apply directly to pregnant law enforcement officers, parole officers, and corrections officers. The bill mandates compliance with state and federal laws and takes effect seven months after enactment.
