Concerns provision of services to defendants on pretrial release.

New Jersey Assembly Bill A4521 (A4521) creates a role for county pretrial release coordinators to connect eligible defendants with voluntary services during pretrial release. It directly affects defendants charged with indictable offenses or disorderly persons offenses who are released before trial. Coordinators must help defendants access substance use treatment, SNAP/Medicaid benefits, housing assistance, job training through One-Stop Career Centers, and other needed services - without requiring participation. The bill also mandates data collection on service uptake and outcomes, annual stakeholder meetings to improve services, and annual state funding for implementation.
