Allows DACA recipients to become law enforcement and corrections officers in New Jersey.

This bill amends New Jersey law to allow individuals who qualify under the federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program to become law enforcement and corrections officers. These officers would be entitled to carry firearms, have seniority, and be eligible for promotions, re-employment, retirement, and pension benefits. The bill also ensures that DACA recipients appointed as officers are not deprived of any rights or protections provided by state law or pension systems.
