Makes FY2024 supplemental appropriation of $500,000 to Judiciary to support expansion of Pretrial Services Program.
This bill adds $500,000 in supplemental funding to New Jersey's Pretrial Services Program for Fiscal Year 2024. The funds will directly support hiring additional staff and purchasing equipment (including electronic monitoring devices) to manage the growing number of defendants released before trial. The funding addresses specific recommendations from a 2023 report and testimony highlighting resource shortages in the program. This is a direct budgetary change to expand the program's capacity, as established under the 2017 Criminal Justice Reform Act.
