Makes FY2024 supplemental appropriation of $750,000 providing for additional attorneys dedicated to juvenile matters.

This bill appropriates $750,000 in supplemental funding for New Jersey's FY2024 budget to add eight attorneys dedicated to juvenile cases. The funds will directly support the Office of the Public Defender's Trial Services to Indigents program, specifically targeting juvenile post-disposition work and caseload reduction in high-volume counties like Essex and Atlantic. The funding supplements existing appropriations to address rising juvenile custody rates (up 22% from 2022 to 2024) and increased caseloads following expanded juvenile defense mandates. The bill creates no new legal requirements but provides targeted staffing resources for juvenile defense.
