Authorizes State, county, and municipal law enforcement officers to access certain crime scenes and evidence.

Summary

The measure gives every New Jersey state, county and municipal law‑enforcement officer the right to access a crime scene and any evidence located there when the scene falls under the officer’s agency jurisdiction. It also makes it a crime for any person, including a federal officer, to prevent that access. The change is intended to remove obstacles to investigations and clarify penalties for interference.
