New Jersey S3126 increases the credit for incarceration due to default on court-imposed financial obligations or motor vehicle penalties.

New Jersey S3126 amends the state's laws to increase the amount of credit a court may give to a person incarcerated for defaulting on a court-imposed financial obligation or motor vehicle penalty. The credit, which is applied against the amount owed, increases from $50 to $90 for each day of confinement served. This change applies to various penalties and fines, including those for disorderly persons offenses, and does not reduce the total amount owed. The bill is based on a recommendation from the Supreme Court Committee on Municipal Court Operations, Fines, and Fees.
