The governor outlines four key differences between the Musmanno bill and the Senate version. He objects to restricting industrial police to property where employed, to requiring a sponsor's employment, to commitments of arrestees, and to limiting territorial reach beyond payrolls in transit. He argues the proposed limits would harm property protection and fail to cover essential facilities, urging a broader, nonterritorial approach.
