S 923 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes requirement that county prosecutor reside in county of appointment during term of appointment and until qualified successor is appointed.

This bill requires county prosecutors appointed by the governor to reside within their appointed county for the entire duration of their term and until a qualified successor is appointed. It directly affects county prosecutors in New Jersey, amending existing law (N.J.S.2A:158-1) to add this residency requirement. The key provision mandates that prosecutors must live in the county they serve, rather than allowing them to reside elsewhere during their five-year term. This change applies to all future appointments and updates the qualifications for the position.
