Conforms statute to reflect court ruling regarding minimum age for eligibility as municipal police officer.

This bill updates New Jersey law to align the minimum age requirement for municipal police officers with a 1974 state Supreme Court ruling. It amends N.J.S.40A:14-127 to change the minimum age from 21 to 18 years, removing an outdated barrier that previously prevented 18- to 20-year-olds from applying. The change directly affects municipal police departments and applicants aged 18-35 seeking appointment to police forces. The law now reflects the court’s determination that the age of majority (18) supersedes the prior 21-year minimum for public employment eligibility.
