This bill amends N.J.S.2A:158-1 to establish a residency requirement for county prosecutors in New Jersey. Specifically, it mandates that any individual appointed as a county prosecutor must reside in the county of their appointment during their term and until a qualified successor is appointed. This change aims to ensure that county prosecutors are more connected to the communities they serve.

The bill does not include any deletions from the current law but introduces the new requirement regarding residency. It is designed to enhance accountability and community engagement by requiring county prosecutors to live in the areas where they perform their duties. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
