A 2862 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Designates drug court program as the "special probation recovery court program" in statutes.

This bill changes the statutory name of New Jersey's drug court program from "special probation" to "special probation recovery court program" throughout state law. The bill makes a technical name change to better reflect the program's focus on recovery rather than merely "drugs," while maintaining the same eligibility requirements and structure. The program serves non-violent offenders convicted of drug-related offenses who are found to be drug or alcohol dependent and would benefit from treatment instead of incarceration. This is a purely procedural change with no policy or operational modifications to the existing program.
