Requires AG to release bias incident data monthly.
This bill requires New Jersey's Attorney General to release bias incident data to the public every month, instead of only annually as currently required. It directly affects municipal and county law enforcement agencies, which must continue submitting quarterly reports on bias-related crimes to the Attorney General. The data - covering incidents based on race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, or ethnicity - will be posted monthly on the Department of Law and Public Safety's website. The bill defines "bias incident" as suspected or confirmed violations of New Jersey's bias intimidation laws (C.2C:16-1). This change makes real-time data on bias crimes more accessible to the public.
