Clarifies regional municipal court jurisdiction over State Police and other matters originating outside of participating municipalities.

S 194 clarifies jurisdiction for regional municipal courts established under New Jersey's 2021 pilot program. It specifies that these courts no longer must handle cases filed by State Police or county law enforcement agencies when the incidents originate from municipalities *not* participating in the regional court program - those cases will now go to the local municipal court where the incident occurred. Counties may still choose by ordinance to grant regional courts additional jurisdiction over such cases. The bill ensures regional courts retain jurisdiction over cases pending before its effective date. This change aims to reduce caseloads and costs for regional courts while allowing counties flexibility in jurisdictional assignments.
