Eliminates position of constable; removes statutory references to constable; repeals various parts of statutory law; implements recommendation of SCI report concerning elimination of constables.

This bill (S 768) eliminates the position of constable in New Jersey by removing all statutory references to constables from state law. It revises 11 specific legal provisions - covering property distraints, court procedures, arrests, and officer authority - to replace "constable" with "sheriff" or delete the reference entirely. The bill directly affects all state laws and court processes that previously authorized constables, transferring their duties to sheriffs or other designated officers. The bill was introduced in January 2024 but was withdrawn on the same day.
