A 1980 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires AOC to establish program that collects certain information concerning bail reform.

This bill requires New Jersey's Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) to create a program that studies the impact of the state's 2017 bail reform law, which eliminated cash bail for many cases. The program must track key metrics including: the number of people released pretrial, whether release numbers increased, crimes committed by released individuals, and changes in crime rates across urban, suburban, and rural areas. The AOC must publish annual, anonymized reports detailing these findings to the public, Governor, and Legislature. These reports will provide data to assess how the bail reform has affected pretrial release and public safety. The law does not change bail procedures but mandates ongoing analysis of their real-world effects.
