Requires State Police to establish recovery leave policy for troopers presenting proof of pregnancy.
This bill requires New Jersey State Police to create a recovery leave policy for troopers who provide proof of pregnancy. The policy must guarantee at least eight weeks of paid leave after childbirth with full benefits, not counting as sick leave or reducing sick leave balances, and must exempt troopers from residency restrictions or integrity checks during this period. The Superintendent must post clear information about the policy, including required forms, FAQs, and contact details, on the State Police intranet. Note: The bill was withdrawn on January 13, 2026, as it was already covered under P.L.2025, c.259.
