S 4200 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes a Gun Court Pilot Program in Passaic County.

S 4200 establishes a three-year Gun Court Pilot Program in Passaic County's Superior Court to handle criminal cases involving guns or dangerous weapons used in violent crimes. The program refers eligible cases to specialized judges with expertise in criminal law and sentencing, aiming to expedite processing of gun-related offenses. The Administrative Office of the Courts will administer the program, monitor its impact on sentencing and court workload, and submit reports to the Legislature after 12 months and at the program's end. The pilot will evaluate whether this specialized court model should be expanded statewide.
