Establishes "Uniform Crash Investigation Protocol Task Force" to establish uniform crash investigation protocol for State, county, and municipal law enforcement agencies when investigating certain motor vehicle and vessel crashes.

S 2574 establishes a "Uniform Crash Investigation Protocol Task Force" to create standardized procedures for New Jersey law enforcement agencies investigating motor vehicle or vessel crashes involving fatalities or serious injuries. The task force will develop protocols covering specific scenarios like alcohol/drug involvement, hit-and-runs, or reckless operation (14 listed criteria), incorporating technology like vehicle data recorders and requiring victim-family information sharing via a web portal. Key mechanisms include accountability measures (officer self-assessments, random reviews), transparency provisions, and timeframes aligning with criminal statute of limitations. The protocol must be submitted to the Attorney General within one year of task force formation, affecting all State, county, and municipal law enforcement agencies handling qualifying crashes.
