Requires law enforcement officers to follow certain procedures when illegal drugs are suspected of being used in presence of children.

This bill requires New Jersey law enforcement officers to follow specific procedures when a parent or guardian requests child removal from a home where illegal drugs are suspected to be used near the child. Officers must secure and remove the drugs as evidence, immediately refer the request to child protective services, ensure a prompt investigation, and coordinate with investigators. It directly affects children at risk of exposure to drug use, parents/guardians seeking protection, and law enforcement responding to such requests. The bill takes effect immediately and mandates coordination with the State Central Registry for child abuse/neglect investigations.
