Authorizes Class Three special law enforcement officers to provide security in places of religious worship; makes certain clarifications concerning their use in nonpublic schools.

This bill expands the duties of New Jersey's Class Three special law enforcement officers to include providing security at places of religious worship (such as churches, mosques, and synagogues) in addition to their existing role in public and nonpublic schools. It requires school districts that hire these officers for security in public schools to also provide the same security services for nonpublic schools within the district, with the district responsible for covering the costs for both. Officers must meet specific training and certification standards, including being retired police officers with relevant experience, and cannot carry firearms off-duty without additional requirements. The bill does not mandate hiring these officers but establishes clear coverage requirements for school districts that choose to use them in public schools.
