S 1443 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Concerns Office of Public Integrity and Accountability.

This bill requires New Jersey's Office of Public Integrity and Accountability (OPIA) to adopt the Attorney General's most recent "Internal Affairs Policy and Procedures" for handling internal investigations of state law enforcement. It also mandates that OPIA submit detailed reports to the Legislature for any investigation taking over 180 days, summarizing all actions taken during that time. The bill directly affects OPIA (which investigates misconduct by state law enforcement) and the Legislature (which receives the reports). These provisions aim to standardize internal investigation procedures and increase transparency for ongoing cases.
