Introduced Text

Reallocates forfeited property proceeds to incentivize informants and fund inpatient drug treatment.

New Jersey S2743 amends forfeiture laws to allocate 10% of proceeds from forfeited property in drug-related cases to informants who provide information leading to the case. Five percent of these proceeds will be deposited into the "Inpatient Drug Rehabilitation Assistance Fund" to provide treatment for New Jersey citizens who cannot afford it. The fund will be managed by the Commissioner of Human Services, who will determine eligibility and disbursements. The bill also modifies the distribution of proceeds from forfeited property, ensuring they are used for law enforcement purposes.
