New Jersey A1099 grants immunity from civil liability to first responders who forcibly enter property to provide emergency assistance.

New Jersey A1099 provides immunity from civil liability to first responders, including emergency medical services personnel, law enforcement officers, and firefighters, for any damages resulting from a forcible entry into a home, business, or other structure at which an emergency is reported. This immunity applies if the entry is based on a good faith belief that it is necessary to provide emergency medical care or to prevent imminent bodily harm and if no occupant of the property responds to requests for entry within a reasonable period of time.
