NJ S1271

Full-time law enforcement officers in New Jersey must receive cancer and cardiovascular disease screenings starting 3 years after employment and every 3 years thereafter, covering 11 cancer types including colon, lung, bladder, skin, breast, cervical, testicular, and prostate.

Establishes the "SHBP Law Enforcement Cancer and Cardiovascular Disease Screenings Fund" as a dedicated, non-lapsing fund to cover screening costs.

Adds a $10 surcharge to every motor vehicle fine and traffic violation penalty collected in the state, with proceeds deposited into the new fund.

Appropriates $20 million from the State General Fund to initially fund the screening program.

Public employers not participating in the State Health Benefits Program can receive reimbursement up to $2,500 per officer per three-year period for providing required screenings, with no co-payments or deductibles permitted for these examinations.
