NJ S3842

Removes the presumption of pretrial release for defendants charged with home invasion burglary or residential burglary who have one or more prior arrests or convictions for similar offenses

Adds home invasion and residential burglary to the existing exception that already applies to repeat motor vehicle theft offenses under New Jersey's Criminal Justice Reform Law

Courts would retain authority to order pretrial detention for defendants found to be flight risks, dangers to the community, or likely to obstruct criminal proceedings

Prior qualifying offenses include home invasion burglary (C.2C:18-2.1), residential burglary (C.2C:18-2.2), burglary of a residential dwelling (N.J.S.2C:18-2), or substantially equivalent crimes under federal or other state laws
