Establishes task force to study ways to increase diversity within law enforcement agencies.
SJR 91 establishes a 13-member task force to study methods for increasing diversity and community representation within New Jersey's law enforcement agencies, including state, local, and municipal departments. The task force will include representatives from the legislature, law enforcement associations, civil rights organizations, and community stakeholders (with specific urban and non-urban representation), and must hold at least three public hearings across the state. It will examine current data, research, and policies on diversity in law enforcement to develop recommendations. The task force will report its findings and suggestions to the legislature, though the bill does not mandate specific policy changes.
