A 662 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Concerns occupational safety and health for public employees of certain interstate authorities.

This bill amends New Jersey's Public Employees' Occupational Safety and Health Act to include certain interstate authorities as "employers" under the law, removing an existing exclusion for bi-state agencies. It specifically covers authorities like the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, Delaware River authorities, and the Waterfront Commission, making their employees subject to New Jersey's safety protections. The Governor is authorized to negotiate supplemental agreements with other states to implement these changes, though some provisions require concurrent action by those states to take full effect. The bill ensures employees of these entities who work with police or fire departments will have access to the same safety protections as other public employees.
