This bill would expand the steps taken by the State to protect the lives of police officers by creating replacement periods for soft body ballistic armor vests. In essence, this will give these armor vests a lifetime of no more than five years after original issuance.

Prohibits keeping soft body ballistic armor vests for police officers in active use for more than 5 years after issuance unless otherwise directed by competent authority; makes a conforming change in the existing requirement that applicants (applying to the commissioner of the division of criminal justice services) for reimbursement for funds expended for the purchase of such vests for eligible police officers report whether such officers have previously been provided with any other vest for which reimbursement was provided.

Asm. Peter Rivera [D]
