Establishes requirement that county prosecutor reside in county of appointment during term of appointment and until qualified successor is appointed.
This bill (S 3302) requires county prosecutors in New Jersey to live in the county they serve during their entire term and until a qualified successor is appointed. It directly affects prosecutors appointed by the governor with Senate approval, amending state law to mandate this residency requirement. The key provision states that prosecutors must reside in the county of appointment "during the term of appointment, and until the appointment and qualification of a successor." This is a procedural change with no substantive policy shifts, focusing solely on the location of a prosecutor's residence.
