S 1132 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Bars individual from serving as county prosecutor in acting capacity for longer than one year, including pending nominee for position.

This bill limits county prosecutors serving in an acting capacity to a maximum of one year. It requires the Governor to nominate an acting prosecutor for a permanent position to the Senate within one year, or the acting prosecutor must leave the role. The law applies to all acting county prosecutors, including those whose nomination is pending, ensuring permanent appointments occur within the statutory timeframe. It does not change the constitutional requirement for gubernatorial nomination and Senate confirmation of county prosecutors. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
