Requires State Treasurer to reimburse county treasurer for defense costs and administrative expenses incurred by county in defending certain lawsuits during supersedure of county prosecutor by Attorney General.
This bill requires the State Treasurer to reimburse county treasurers for defense costs and administrative expenses when counties defend civil lawsuits against the Attorney General during a "supersedure" (when the Attorney General temporarily acts as county prosecutor). It specifically covers lawsuits involving administrative functions, such as personnel matters, which were previously excluded from the State's defense obligation under existing law. The bill amends New Jersey statutes to ensure counties receive reimbursement for these costs, closing a gap highlighted by a recent court ruling.
