Requires immediate public reporting of bias incident; facilitates receipt of information from public for purposes of prosecuting bias incident.
This bill requires New Jersey law enforcement agencies to publicly report bias incidents within 24 hours. Specifically, the Attorney General, county prosecutors, and local police must post incident details (including relevant facts to aid investigation) and contact information for reporting additional information on official websites. The public can then provide tips to help investigate and prosecute these incidents. Updated information about case outcomes must also be shared online. This applies to incidents involving bias based on race, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or other protected characteristics as defined by existing law.
