Broadens municipal arson investigators' powers.

This bill amends the law to expand the powers of full-time members of arson investigation units in New Jersey. It grants these members the same powers and authority as police officers to investigate arson crimes when they are within the state while performing their arson investigation duties. Currently, these members are limited to exercising such police powers within their municipality. The bill also specifies training requirements for these members and outlines the process for approving their firearm carry permits.
