Proposes constitutional amendment authorizing statute transferring probation functions from Judiciary to State Parole Board.

ACR 46 proposes a constitutional amendment to transfer New Jersey's probation system from the Judiciary to the State Parole Board. The amendment would authorize the Legislature to create a "Bureau of Probation" within the Parole Board and move all probation functions, staff (including probation officers and case workers), and related responsibilities from courts to this new bureau. Existing employee contracts, bargaining rights, and terms would remain unchanged during the transfer. This follows a 2006 Supreme Court ruling that struck down a prior law attempting to grant probation officers law enforcement powers, citing separation of powers concerns.
