A 3028 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Revises distribution of Alcohol Education, Rehabilitation and Enforcement Fund.

This bill revises how funds from New Jersey's Alcohol Education, Rehabilitation and Enforcement Fund are distributed to municipalities. It updates the calculation method for allocating money to the "Municipal Court Administration Reimbursement Fund," replacing outdated 1980s arrest data with 2020 as the new base year for drunk driving arrest reporting. Municipalities must annually report their drunk driving arrests to the Administrative Office of the Courts, and funds are distributed based on each municipality's arrest increase relative to the state total. The change aims to create a fairer distribution reflecting current arrest patterns, with the base year updated every decade starting in 2030.
