S 3060 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes a Gun Court Pilot Program in Passaic County.

S 3060 establishes a three-year Gun Court Pilot Program in Passaic County's Superior Court. The program will handle criminal cases where a gun or dangerous weapon was used in violent crimes, with judges required to have specialized expertise in criminal law and sentencing. The Administrative Office of the Courts will administer the program, monitor its impact on sentencing and court workload, and report to the legislature after 12 months and at program end. If successful, the program could be expanded statewide. The bill does not change sentencing laws but creates a specialized court structure for gun-violence cases.
