Relates to the identification of correction officers
This bill (A 5190) requires correction officers in state correctional facilities to be identified solely by their badge number, not by displaying their name on a tag or label. It directly affects correction officers employed in these facilities by prohibiting facilities from requiring them to wear name tags. The key provision amends the correction law to explicitly state that officers "shall be identified by a tag or other display of the officer's badge number only." The law would take effect 60 days after enactment, replacing any existing requirements for name displays.
