Requires Superintendent of State Police to publish cannabis-related fatal motor vehicle crash statistics.
This bill requires New Jersey's Superintendent of State Police to collect and publish annual statistics on fatal motor vehicle crashes involving cannabis. It directly affects the State Police (who must gather and release the data) and the public (who will gain access to this information). The key provision mandates that the data collection use the same definition of "cannabis" as established in existing law (P.L.2021, c.16), similar to how alcohol-related crash data is currently reported in the annual Fatal Motor Vehicle Crash Report. The bill does not change cannabis laws or enforcement but adds transparency about cannabis-related crash fatalities.
