A 4285 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires notification to appropriate departments if drug court participant tests positive for marijuana or cannabis.

Bill A4285 requires drug court programs in New Jersey to notify state departments if a participant tests positive for marijuana or cannabis. It directly affects individuals enrolled in drug court programs under special probation for substance use disorder. The key provision adds a mandatory reporting requirement to ensure relevant departments are informed of positive test results during treatment. This change updates existing rehabilitation program rules to address marijuana use without altering treatment eligibility or requirements.
