This bill mandates the immediate public reporting of bias incidents in New Jersey, requiring that information be made available within 24 hours of notification. The Attorney General is tasked with posting details about the suspected bias incident on the Department of Law and Public Safety's website, while also directing county prosecutors to do the same on their respective websites. Additionally, the chief law enforcement officer of the municipality where the incident occurred, or the Superintendent of State Police in municipalities without a full-time police department, must also provide similar information on their websites. The information to be disclosed includes relevant facts and circumstances of the incident and guidance on how the public can assist law enforcement by providing information.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that the Attorney General, county prosecutor, and chief law enforcement officer or Superintendent of State Police must update the public regarding the final disposition of the bias incident investigation. This legislative effort comes in response to a significant increase in bias incidents in New Jersey, highlighting the need for timely communication and community involvement in addressing these issues. The bill aims to enhance transparency and facilitate the prosecution of bias-related crimes, which have been on the rise in recent years.
