S 2927 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Affords civil immunity to private colleges and their police officers in certain cases.

This bill grants civil immunity to private, nonprofit colleges and their police officers in New Jersey when they act in good faith while enforcing laws. It specifically protects these officers and institutions from being sued for damages under certain circumstances, provided their actions were lawful and reasonable. The immunity does not exceed the protections already available to other duly appointed police officers in the state. This applies immediately to private colleges with their own police forces, as defined under existing law.
