New Jersey S2071 amends the minimum age requirement for municipal police officers to align with the state's age of majority.
New Jersey S2071 updates the state law to set the minimum age for municipal police officers at 18, in line with the New Jersey Supreme Court's ruling. Previously, the law required officers to be between 21 and 35 years old. This change rectifies the discrepancy between the state law and the court's decision, ensuring that the age of majority applies to police officer eligibility. The bill takes effect immediately.
