New Jersey A4551 mandates parole revocation for parolees arrested or indicted for assaulting law enforcement officers or those who threaten to kill.

New Jersey A4551 requires the Parole Board to detain a parolee and initiate revocation proceedings if the parolee is arrested or indicted for assaulting a law enforcement officer or if there is a report that the parolee threatened to kill or cause physical harm to a law enforcement officer or a member of their family. This applies to both active and retired law enforcement officers. The bill specifies that parole revocation should not be based on marijuana-related offenses. The act takes effect immediately upon enactment.
