AJR 129 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes task force on cannabis related traffic fatalities.

AJR 129 creates a 21-member task force to study cannabis-related traffic fatalities in New Jersey. The task force includes state agency heads (like the Attorney General and Transportation Commissioner), law enforcement representatives (such as police unions), traffic safety experts, and public members with relevant experience. It will examine how cannabis use affects driving safety, analyze crash statistics before and after cannabis legalization, assess public awareness, and evaluate prevention strategies. The task force must make recommendations - including proposing a new public awareness campaign - to reduce cannabis-impaired driving and improve road safety for all users. This resolution is procedural and will activate once cannabis legalization or decriminalization legislation is enacted.
