Establishes "County Government Criminal Justice Reform Administration Fund"; increases certain fees and assessments.
This bill creates the "County Government Criminal Justice Reform Administration Fund" to help New Jersey counties cover costs associated with implementing criminal justice reform. It increases several court fees and assessments, with specific portions of these increases (including $2.50 from municipal court fees, $2 from violation assessments, $30 for domestic violence contempt cases, and $5 for court filings) deposited into the fund. The fund will be used to cover county costs related to criminal justice reform implementation, including salaries, health benefits, court security, facility improvements, and other capital expenses. Money from the fund will be distributed to counties based on their proportion of statewide complaint-warrants from the previous fiscal year. Counties must use these funds for specific purposes related to implementing criminal justice reform, as approved by county governing bodies.
