NJ A3502

Creates a rebuttable presumption of pretrial detention for defendants charged with carjacking, requiring them to prove they should be released rather than the prosecutor proving they should be detained

Establishes presumption of pretrial detention for motor vehicle theft or burglary in furtherance of motor vehicle theft when the defendant has a prior conviction within the preceding 12 months or pending charges for the same offenses

Expands existing New Jersey pretrial detention law, which currently applies presumption of detention only to murder and crimes carrying life imprisonment, to include these vehicle-related crimes

Requires the Administrative Office of the Courts to report to the Legislature and Governor on the number of individuals detained under this presumption, rehabilitation outcomes, and other pretrial detention objectives

Bill provisions expire one year after enactment, though the presumption applies to any pretrial detention motion for crimes committed during that one-year period
