Revises distribution of monies from Alcohol Education, Rehabilitation and Enforcement Fund to municipalities.

This bill revises how funds from New Jersey's Alcohol Education, Rehabilitation and Enforcement Fund (AEREF) are distributed to municipalities. It requires each municipality to annually report drunk driving arrest numbers to the Administrative Office of the Courts starting January 15, 2023. Funding for municipal courts is calculated using a formula based on the municipality's previous year's AEREF allocation (multiplied by 50%) divided by either the current year's arrest count or a five-year average of arrests. The allocated funds must be used to maintain municipal courts, including overtime payments for judges, prosecutors, and court staff.
