Establishes prisoner reentry peer support hotline.
This bill establishes a 24/7 toll-free hotline for formerly incarcerated individuals in New Jersey seeking reentry support after release from custody. It requires the Commissioner of Human Services, in consultation with Corrections, Health, Youth Justice, and Parole officials, to create the service using existing hotline infrastructure. Operators must be certified peer recovery specialists (either by New Jersey's Addiction Professionals Certification Board or the national Association for Addiction Professionals). The hotline directly serves returning residents by providing immediate, peer-led support during their reentry transition.
