The citations and headings were mechanically extracted from the New Jersey Legislature’s bulk New Jersey General and Permanent Statutes text, accessed 2026-09-05. Its own header says (UPDATED THROUGH P.L.2025, c.405, and J.R.22). That means this snapshot should not be read as including every amendment enacted in 2026.
Headings are finding aids. They don’t establish that a section is currently operative, creates an offense, or applies to a particular case. Use each “Official text lookup” link to read the Legislature text and check later enactments.
