Requires Administrative Office of the Courts to collect and publish statistical information about consumer debt lawsuits.

This bill requires New Jersey's Administrative Office of the Courts to collect and publicly report annual statistics on consumer debt lawsuits, which directly affects courts, lawmakers, and the public. It mandates data on key metrics like the number of new lawsuits filed (by court division), pending cases over three months, defendant attorney representation, judgment types (including defaults), and other dispositions. The data will be published annually for transparency, helping stakeholders understand trends in debt collection cases. This aligns with national benchmarks for tracking consumer debt litigation, as noted in a 2024 Fordham University report. The bill does not change debt collection laws but creates a standardized reporting system for existing court data.
