S 3340 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Permits counties to establish a central municipal drug court.

Bill S 3340 allows New Jersey counties to establish specialized "central municipal drug courts" to handle drug-related cases. Counties that choose to create such courts would manage cases referred by county health departments, police, or the court system, focusing specifically on drug offenses within their jurisdiction. The bill requires counties to pass an ordinance and file it with the Administrative Director of the Courts to create these courts. This provides an optional framework for counties to develop dedicated court resources for drug-related matters, without mandating any county to implement it.
