2023 New Jersey Revised Statutes › Title 53 - State Police › Section 53:2-25 - Refusal to answer question; immunity; prosecution.

53:2-25 Refusal to answer question; immunity; prosecution.
20. a. In any investigation, interview, or other proceeding conducted under oath by the division or any duly authorized officer, employee, or agent thereof, if a person refuses to answer a question or produce evidence of any other kind on the ground that the person may be incriminated thereby, and notwithstanding the refusal, an order is made upon 24 hours' prior written notice to the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey, and to the appropriate district attorney or prosecutor having an official interest therein, by the Superintendent of the division or the superintendent's designee, that the person answer the question or produce the evidence, the person shall comply with the order. If the person complies with the order, and if, but for this section, would have been privileged to withhold the answer given or the evidence produced by the person, then immunity shall be conferred upon the person, as provided for herein. Immunity shall not be conferred upon any person except in accordance with the provisions of this section. If, after compliance with the provisions of this section, a person is ordered to answer a question or produce evidence of any other kind and complies with the order, and it is thereafter determined that the Attorney General or appropriate district attorney or prosecutor having an official interest therein was not notified, that failure or neglect shall not deprive that person of any immunity otherwise properly conferred upon the person. But the person may nevertheless be prosecuted or subjected to penalty or forfeiture for any perjury or contempt committed in answering, or failing to answer, or in producing or failing to produce evidence, in accordance with the order, and any answer given or evidence produced shall be admissible against the person upon any criminal proceeding concerning such perjury or contempt.
b. If a person, in obedience to a subpoena directing the person to attend and testify, is in this State or comes into this State from the State of New York, the person shall not, while in this State pursuant to such subpoena, be subject to arrest or the service of process, civil or criminal, in connection with matters which arose before the person's entrance into this State under the subpoena.

21. a. The division may temporarily suspend a temporary permit or a permanent license or a temporary or permanent registration issued pursuant to the provisions of P.L.2017, c.324 (C.32:23-229 et al.) until further order of the division or final disposition of the underlying case, only where the permittee, licensee, or registrant has been indicted for, or otherwise charged with, a crime which is equivalent to a crime of the third, second, or first degree in this State or only where the permittee or licensee is a port watchman who is charged by the division pursuant to section 13 of P.L.2017, c.324 (C.53:2-18) with misappropriating any other person's property at or on a pier or other waterfront terminal.
b. In the case of a permittee, licensee, or registrant who has been indicted for, or otherwise charged with, a crime, the temporary suspension shall terminate immediately upon acquittal or upon dismissal of the criminal charge. A person whose permit, license, or registration has been temporarily suspended may, at any time, demand that the division conduct a hearing as provided for in section 14 of P.L.2017, c.324 (C.53:2-19). Within 60 days of the demand, the division shall commence the hearing and, within 30 days of receipt of the administrative law judge's report and recommendation, the division shall render a final determination thereon; provided, however, that these time requirements, shall not apply for any period of delay caused or requested by the permittee, licensee, or registrant. Upon failure of the division to commence a hearing or render a determination within the time limits prescribed herein, the temporary suspension of the permittee, licensee, or registrant shall immediately terminate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection, if a federal, State, or local law enforcement agency or prosecutor's office shall request the suspension or deferment of any hearing on the ground that the hearing would obstruct or prejudice an investigation or prosecution, the division may in its discretion, postpone or defer the hearing for a time certain or indefinitely. Any action by the division to postpone a hearing shall be subject to immediate judicial review as provided in subsection b. of this section.
c. The division may, within its discretion, bar any permittee, licensee, or registrant who has been suspended pursuant to the provisions of subsection a. of this section, from any employment by a licensed stevedore or a carrier of freight by water, if that individual has been indicted or otherwise charged in any federal, State, or territorial proceeding with any crime involving the possession with intent to distribute, sale, or distribution of a controlled dangerous substance or controlled dangerous substance analog, racketeering, or theft from a pier or waterfront terminal.
