New Jersey A1791 modifies special probation drug court eligibility for individuals with specific prior criminal convictions.

New Jersey A1791 amends the eligibility criteria for the special probation drug court program. It allows individuals with certain older multiple criminal convictions to qualify for the program, provided they meet specific conditions. The bill modifies the criteria to permit individuals with two or more past convictions to be eligible for special probation drug court, as long as none of the convictions render them automatically ineligible and any conviction for a crime of the first or second degree is at least five years old.
