2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 26 - Health and Vital Statistics|Section 26:2B-35 - Distribution of enforcement moneys

(1) Each municipality in this State shall present to the Administrative Office of the Courts, before December 31, 1983, the number of drunk driving arrests in the municipality during calendar year 1980. This number shall be the base year number of arrests. In any municipality in which the number of drunk driving arrests for calendar year 1980 exceeds the average of the number of drunk driving arrests for calendar years 1979 and 1981, that municipality may substitute the lower average figure as the base figure for the calculation in this subsection. The municipality shall certify this substitution in writing to the Administrative Office of the Courts within 90 days of the effective date of this 1986 amendatory act.

(2) The Administrative Office of the Courts shall certify the amounts submitted by each municipality and shall calculate for each municipality any increase in the number of arrests between the base year and the number of arrests reported for the preceding calendar year.

2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 26 - Health and Vital Statistics|Section 26:2B-36 - Findings, declarations relative to alcoholism, drug abuse among the deaf, hard of hearing, disabled

26:2B-36. Findings, declarations relative to alcoholism, drug abuse among the deaf, hard of hearing, disabled  1. The Legislature finds and declares that: there is growing evidence that people with deafness, hearing loss or other disabilities are at greater risk of being involved with alcohol or other drugs of abuse than the general population; the deaf and hard of hearing have a communication disability which prevents them from receiving and communicating information that would enable them to make more informed decisions about their own use, abuse or addiction to alcohol and other drugs; and the combined impact of physical impairment, attitudinal and architectural barriers, societal discrimination and the psychological stresses that accompany disability may create a special vulnerability for substance abuse in people with disabilities. The Legislature further finds and declares that: few rehabilitation centers and professionals working with the deaf, hard of hearing and other disabled persons are adequately prepared or trained to identify, recognize or deal with the signs of substance abuse; and New Jersey needs the development of specialized services for people with disabilities who abuse, misuse and are addicted to alcohol and other drugs.

2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 26 - Health and Vital Statistics|Section 26:2BB-1 - Findings, declarations

26:2BB-1. Findings, declarations  The Legislature finds and declares that: alcoholism and drug abuse are major health problems facing the residents of this State; aspects of these problems extend into many areas under various State departments; placement in, but not of, the State Department of the Treasury is the most appropriate and logical location for focusing a coordinated planning and review effort to ameliorate these problems and for establishing a Governor's Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse as an independent coordinating, planning, research and review body regarding all aspects of alcoholism and drug abuse; and a merger of the Division of Alcoholism and the Division of Narcotic and Drug Abuse Control within the State Department of Health will enhance the effectiveness of the State's role in formulating comprehensive and integrated public policy and providing effective treatment, prevention and public awareness efforts against alcoholism and drug abuse.  The Legislature further finds and declares that: as the cooperation and active participation of all communities in the State is necessary to achieve the goal of reducing alcoholism and drug abuse, there should be established within the Governor's Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, an Alliance to Prevent Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, to unite the communities of this State in a coordinated and comprehensive effort; and that the full resources of this State including counties, municipalities and residents of the State must be mobilized in a persistent and sustained manner in order to achieve a response capable of meaningfully addressing not only the symptoms but the root causes of this pervasive problem.
