New Jersey A3698 aligns the minimum age requirement for municipal police officers with the state's age of majority.

New Jersey A3698 amends the state statute to set the minimum age for eligibility as a municipal police officer at 18, reflecting a court ruling. Previously, the law required officers to be between 21 and 35 years old. The change aligns the age requirement with the state's age of majority, which is 18. This bill rectifies the discrepancy between state law and the court's decision in N.J. State Police Benevolent Association v. Morristown.
