Increases amount of credit for incarceration resulting from default of court-imposed financial obligation or motor vehicle penalty.

This bill increases the credit given to individuals incarcerated for failing to pay court-imposed financial obligations (like fines, fees, or motor vehicle penalties) from $50 to $90 per day of confinement. It directly affects people who default on such payments and are jailed, allowing them to apply more of their time served toward reducing their outstanding debt. The change modifies two sections of New Jersey law (N.J.S.2C:46-2 and R.S.39:5-36) to raise the minimum daily credit amount. Incarceration remains a penalty for willful default but now provides greater relief toward the original debt. The policy change aims to provide more meaningful credit for time served while maintaining that the full debt amount must still be paid.
