Prohibits administrative fees on accounts and allowances of persons released from incarceration.
New Jersey S4181 prohibits administrative fees on checking accounts and allowances for persons released from incarceration. The bill mandates that the Department of Corrections assist inmates in establishing a consumer checking account at least 30 days before release, with no fees allowed for account opening, maintenance, or use. If an inmate chooses not to open an account, their funds must be disbursed in cash. The bill also ensures that any remaining balance in the inmate's account is transferred to their checking account or debit card upon release, with no fees permitted.
