A 4959 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Revises distribution of Alcohol Education, Rehabilitation and Enforcement Fund.

This bill revises how funds from New Jersey's Alcohol Education, Rehabilitation and Enforcement Fund are distributed to municipalities. It updates the base year for calculating drunk driving arrest data from the 1980s to 2020, requiring annual reporting of arrests and decennial updates (starting 2030). The "Municipal Court Administration Reimbursement Fund" will now allocate money based on each municipality's recent arrest trends relative to statewide totals. This directly affects all municipalities receiving these funds, replacing an outdated system that did not account for population shifts over 30 years.
