Several bills the New Jersey State Bar Association (NJSBA) has been monitoring advanced to the governor’s office. Here is an update on the purpose and status of the bills:

A3707 (Coughlin)/S2395 (Scutari)—New Jersey Task Force on Child Abuse and Neglect. The governor signed into law a bill that implements a court order to end the federal oversight of New Jersey’s child welfare system. The bill expands the role of the Staffing and Oversight Review Subcommittee of the New Jersey Task Force on Child Abuse and Neglect to serve in the review capacity that the federal monitor currently performs. The NJSBA supported the bill with an amendment to create a dedicated NJSBA seat.
