S 2743 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Reallocates portion of certain forfeited property as incentive for informants of drug-related offenses and to provide inpatient treatment for certain drug-dependent individuals.

This bill creates the "Inpatient Drug Rehabilitation Assistance Fund" by redirecting 5% of proceeds from drug-related forfeitures that result from informant information. It also establishes a 10% payment to individuals who provide information leading to drug-related prosecutions. The fund will provide inpatient treatment at licensed residential facilities for New Jersey residents who cannot afford treatment, with eligibility determined by the Commissioner of Human Services. This reallocation changes how forfeiture funds from drug cases are distributed, moving away from sole law enforcement use toward supporting both informants and treatment services.
