Urges New Jersey Supreme Court to refer to supervisory treatment program as "Recovery Court" in publications.
This Assembly Resolution urges the New Jersey Supreme Court to replace the term "Drug Court" with "Recovery Court" in its publications when describing the state's treatment program for nonviolent drug and alcohol offenders. The program, established under N.J.S.A. 2C:35-14, currently uses the term "Drug Court" in public materials despite the statute referring to it as "special probation" and not mentioning the term. The resolution argues that "Drug Court" is misleading because it emphasizes only drug abuse while omitting the program's focus on alcohol treatment and recovery goals. As a non-binding resolution, it does not change the law but requests a terminology shift to better reflect the program's comprehensive approach.
