A 4464 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Removes mandatory minimum sentences for certain non-violent drug crimes.

This bill removes mandatory minimum sentences for certain non-violent drug offenses in New Jersey, including crimes related to drug distribution, possession, and trafficking. It amends specific sections of the criminal code (2C:35-3, 2C:35-4, 2C:35-5, 2C:35-6, 2C:35-7, 2C:35-8, and 2C:43-6) that currently require minimum prison terms for these offenses. The bill incorporates recommendations from the New Jersey Criminal Sentencing and Disposition Commission to eliminate mandatory minimums for these non-violent drug crimes. By removing these mandatory minimums, judges will have more discretion in sentencing for these specific offenses, potentially reducing prison sentences for individuals convicted of these crimes.
