Eliminates position of constable; removes statutory references to constable; repeals various parts of statutory law; implements recommendation of SCI report concerning elimination of constables.

Maddy summaryThis bill (A 5281, approved as P.L.2023, c.250) eliminates the position of constable in New Jersey by removing all statutory references to constables from state law. It directly affects constables (who are being phased out) and updates legal procedures that previously involved constables, such as property distraints, court processes, and arrest protocols. Key provisions replace every instance of "constable" in existing statutes with "sheriff" or remove the reference entirely, shifting responsibilities to sheriffs. The bill implements a recommendation from a state commission report to modernize outdated law. It does not create new legal powers but adjusts existing procedures to reflect the elimination of the constable role.
