S.4151

Authorizes Class Three special law enforcement officers to provide security in places of religious worship; makes certain clarifications concerning their use in nonpublic schools.

Introduced·5/11/26

Authorizes Class Three special law enforcement officers to provide security in places of religious worship and clarifies their use in nonpublic.

This bill expands the scope of Class Three special law enforcement officers to include providing security in places of religious worship such as churches, mosques, synagogues, and temples. It also mandates that if these officers are hired to provide security in public schools, they must also be made available for nonpublic schools within the same district. The school district, not the individual schools, would be responsible for compensating the municipality for the officers' services in both public and nonpublic schools.
