Introduced Text

New Jersey S1078 allows for reductions in suspended sentences, probation, or parole based on compliance with sentence conditions and mandates reports.

New Jersey S1078 amends existing laws to allow for reductions in suspended sentences, probation, or parole for individuals who comply with their sentence conditions. Specifically, a defendant's period of suspension or probation can be reduced by 30 days for each full calendar month of compliance. Parolees in compliance with their terms can also have their supervision term reduced by 30 days per month. Certain serious offenses, such as aggravated sexual assault or kidnapping, disqualify individuals from these reductions.
