S 1001 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Grants immunity from civil liability to persons reporting information concerning crimes related to terrorism.

This bill grants legal protection from civil lawsuits to people who report terrorism-related crimes to law enforcement in good faith. It specifically covers reports about crimes like terrorism, chemical/biological weapons, terroristic threats, and nuclear plant sabotage, as defined in New Jersey law. The immunity applies unless the report was made with malicious intent or in bad faith. The law aims to encourage public reporting of potential threats without fear of being sued over the report itself. This is a policy change that directly affects residents who might have information about terrorism-related activities.
