S 301 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes "Pretrial Partnership for Community Support and Services Pilot Program" for certain defendants.

This bill establishes a pilot program that allows eligible pretrial defendants in New Jersey to access community-based support services instead of being detained. It requires courts to consider this program when setting release conditions, offering options like substance abuse treatment, mental health services, employment support, and supervision through approved community providers. The program aims to reduce unnecessary pretrial detention while ensuring defendants appear in court and do not pose safety risks. The pilot is limited to specific cases and will be implemented under the new "Pretrial Partnership for Community Support and Services" framework.
