Summary

The legislation amends New Jersey’s pre‑trial law to tell judges which information they may weigh in bail hearings and when a defendant’s release can be revoked. It also mandates a statewide risk‑assessment tool and bars marijuana offenses from influencing certain decisions. The goal is to make release decisions more consistent and focused on safety and court‑appearance risk.
