§ 9-1 Adoption of map.
§ 9-2 Official finding and record.
§ 9-3 Notification of property changes.
§ 9-4 Original map on file; copies made available.
In accordance with and pursuant to the authority of P.L. 1988, c. 44, (N.J.S.A. 2C:35-7) the Drug-Free School Zone Map produced by the Municipal Engineer is hereby approved and adopted as an official finding and record of the location and areas within the municipality of property which is used for school purposes and which is owned by or leased to any elementary or secondary school or School Board, and of the areas on or within 1,000 feet of such school property.
The Drug-Free School Zone Map approved and adopted pursuant to § 9-1 of this chapter shall continue to constitute an official finding and record as to the location and boundaries of areas on or within 1,000 feet of property owned by or leased to any elementary or secondary school or School Board and which is used for school purposes until such time, if any, that this chapter shall be amended to reflect any additions or deletions with respect to the location and boundaries of school property and drug-free school zones.
The Clerk of the municipality is hereby directed to receive and to keep on file the original of the map, approved and adopted pursuant to § 9-1 of this chapter, and to provide at a reasonable cost a true copy thereof to any person, agency or court which may from time to time request such a copy, along with a certification that such copy is a true copy of the map, approved and adopted herein and kept on file. It is hereby further directed that a true copy of such map and of this chapter shall be provided without cost to the County Clerk and to the office of the Warren County Prosecutor.
Except as is otherwise expressly noted on the face of the approved and adopted map, all of the property depicted on the map, approved and adopted herein, as school property was owned by or leased to a school or School Board and was being used for school purposes as of July 9, 1987, that being the effective date of P.L. 1987, c. 101 (N.J.S.A. 2C:35-7).
Pursuant to the provisions of P.L. 1988, c. 44, a prosecutor is not precluded from introducing or relying upon any other evidence or testimony to establish a violation of the offense defined in that statute, including use of a map or diagram other than the one approved and adopted pursuant to § 9-1 of this chapter. The failure of the map, approved herein, to depict the location and boundaries of any property which is, in fact, used for school purposes and which is owned by or leased to any elementary or secondary school or School Board, whether the absence of such depiction is the result of inadvertent omission or the result of any change in the location and boundaries of such property which have not yet been incorporated into a revised approved map, shall not be deemed to be an official finding and record that such property is not owned by or leased to a school or School Board or that such property is not used for school purposes.
