S 4663 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes grant program for certain law enforcement agencies to purchase and install bullet-resistant components for motor vehicles.

This bill creates a grant program to help county and municipal law enforcement agencies purchase and install bullet-resistant components (like windshields, side windows, and door panels) on police vehicles. The program is funded by adding $1 to each traffic fine or penalty collected under New Jersey's motor vehicle laws, with these funds deposited annually into a dedicated "Bullet-Resistant Law Enforcement Motor Vehicles" fund. The Attorney General must establish guidelines for applications, eligibility, grant amounts, and monitoring to ensure funds are used properly for vehicle safety upgrades. The program directly affects local law enforcement agencies by providing financial assistance for vehicle safety improvements during official duties.
