New Jersey S2496 would allow counties to establish county-municipal courts with limited, countywide jurisdiction. These courts would handle cases currently managed by municipal courts, including violations of county and municipal ordinances, and motor vehicle and traffic laws. The county would establish the court by ordinance, which would specify the date on which the court would begin hearing matters. Each municipality within the county would have to agree, by ordinance, to have violations occurring within its municipal boundaries heard in the new court.
