A 2756 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires data collection and issuance of report on drug evidence testing by New Jersey State Police Office of Forensic Sciences.

This bill requires the New Jersey State Police Office of Forensic Sciences to collect specific data for six months on drug evidence handled by law enforcement. It mandates recording details like whether drug field tests were used, results, lab analysis outcomes, false positives, and time between tests. The data will be reported to the legislature within 90 days of the six-month period, including analysis of false positive rates and trends. The bill directly affects law enforcement agencies and forensic labs that process drug evidence in New Jersey, but does not change existing laws or penalties.
