A 4510 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Makes FY2024 supplemental appropriation of $500,000 to Judiciary to support expansion of Pretrial Services Program.

This bill provides $500,000 in supplemental funding from the General Fund to New Jersey's Judiciary for the Statewide Pretrial Services Program during fiscal year 2024. It directly supports expanding the program's capacity by increasing staffing and improving resources like electronic monitoring equipment for defendants released before trial. The funding responds to recommendations from a 2023 criminal justice report and testimony from prosecutors and court officials about insufficient resources to oversee growing numbers of pretrial defendants. The bill does not create new policy but allocates existing funds to strengthen an existing program established under New Jersey's 2017 Criminal Justice Reform Act.
