Permits members of Community Emergency Response Teams to perform traffic duties under certain circumstances.
This bill allows trained Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) volunteers in New Jersey to direct traffic during emergencies or disasters. To qualify, members must pass a physical exam, complete approved training, and take an oath. They may direct traffic on roadways until police arrive or at public events with law enforcement approval, wearing required safety gear. The bill also provides legal protection for CERT traffic officers acting in good faith within their training.
