Expands "Body Armor Replacement Fund" eligibility.
This bill expands eligibility for grants from New Jersey's "Body Armor Replacement Fund" to include any state department or agency that appoints law enforcement officers. Currently, funds support local police, State Police, Criminal Justice, courts, and corrections. The bill allows the Attorney General to provide grants to additional agencies like the Department of Environmental Protection for conservation officers and State Park Police. It maintains the five-year vest replacement cycle and $75,000 annual administrative funding limit, while clarifying that probation officer funding is capped at 200 recipients.
