S 148 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Changes allocation of fines collected for motor vehicle violations in certain municipalities.

This bill changes how traffic fine revenue is distributed in specific New Jersey municipalities. It directs 25% of fines collected by State Police for motor vehicle violations in municipalities with at least four limited-access highways (like interstates) to go directly to those local governments. The funds must be used for general municipal purposes and covering municipal court operating costs. The remaining 75% of these fines continues to go to the State General Fund, as with other traffic violations.
