This bill mandates the Superintendent of State Police to create a maternity policy specifically for State troopers who provide proof of pregnancy. The policy must include a minimum of eight weeks of continuous maternity recovery leave following childbirth, which will be compensated at full pay and benefits. Importantly, this recovery leave will not be classified as sick leave, nor will it affect the trooper's sick leave balance. Additionally, during the maternity recovery leave, troopers will not be subjected to residency restrictions or integrity checks that may apply to other forms of medical leave.

Furthermore, the bill requires that information regarding the maternity policy be made accessible on the intranet website of the Division of State Police. This information must encompass relevant policies and forms that need to be completed before and after the maternity leave, frequently asked questions, and contact details for troopers seeking clarification about the maternity policy. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
