This bill allows candidates and officeholders in New Jersey to utilize campaign funds for reasonable security expenses related to themselves, their immediate family members residing in the same household, and their staff. The security measures must address specific ongoing dangers or threats that arise due to the individual's status or duties as a candidate or officeholder. The bill outlines permissible expenditures, which include non-structural security devices (like locks and alarm systems), structural security devices (such as gates and fencing), professional security personnel and services, and cybersecurity measures.

Additionally, the bill specifies that certain expenditures are prohibited, including the purchase of firearms or ammunition, payments to family members or their businesses, and home improvements not explicitly authorized. Candidates and committees must maintain documentation of these expenditures, which will be considered public records, although specific security details will remain confidential. The Election Law Enforcement Commission is tasked with creating regulations to implement this legislation, which will take effect immediately upon passage.
