A 3859 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Authorizes development and operation of computer system which would allow electronic access to outstanding arrest warrant information.

This New Jersey bill (A 3859) creates a public online tool allowing individuals to check if they have an outstanding arrest warrant. The system, managed by the state courts, lets users voluntarily enter personal details via the judiciary website to verify warrant status. If a warrant is found, the tool provides details about the charge, the responsible law enforcement agency, and steps to resolve it (like paying fines or scheduling court appearances). The bill aims to help people learn about warrants before being arrested, which often happens without their knowledge. The system must interface with existing court databases and include security features developed with state police and IT experts.
