New Jersey § 9:6-8

§ 9:6-8.

Anyone acting pursuant to this act in the making of a report under this act shall

have immunity from any liability, civil or criminal, that might otherwise be incurred

or imposed. Any such person shall have the same immunity with respect to testimony given in

any judicial proceeding resulting from such report. A person who reports or causes to report in good faith an allegation of child abuse

or neglect pursuant to section 3 of P.L.1971, c. 437 ( C. 9:6-8.10 ) and as a result thereof is discharged from employment or in any manner discriminated

against with respect to compensation, hire, tenure or terms, conditions or privileges

of employment, may file a cause of action for appropriate relief in the family part

of the Chancery Division of the Superior Court in the county in which the discharge

or alleged discrimination occurred or in the county of the person's primary residence. If the court finds that the person was discharged or discriminated against as a result

of the person's reporting an allegation of child abuse or neglect, the court may grant

reinstatement of employment with back pay or other legal or equitable relief.
