The New Jersey State Bar Association supports A5741 (Mukherji)/S241 (Scutari)/S491 (Brown), which concerns eligibility, procedures, and post-program relief for certain drug or alcohol dependent persons sentenced to special probation, or regular probation which as a condition of such requires substance use disorders treatment.
The Association supports this proposed legislation because it is a positive step toward ultimately increasing the accessibility of addiction rehabilitation treatment, which will further increase the number of individuals who can obtain addiction rehabilitation treatment.
For the reasons set forth above, the New Jersey State Bar Association supports A5741/S241/S491 and urges you to vote yes on this bill.
