The bill mandates the Administrative Director of the Courts to establish a program focused on researching and analyzing the effects of the Criminal Justice Reform Act, which reformed New Jersey's bail and pretrial detention system. This program will specifically investigate the number of individuals released from pretrial detention after the act's implementation, any increases in such releases, the incidence of new crimes committed by these individuals, and overall crime rate changes in various community types (urban, suburban, and rural).

Additionally, the Administrative Director is required to prepare and disseminate annual reports summarizing the findings from this research, ensuring that no personally identifiable information is included. These reports will be submitted to the Governor and the Legislature and made publicly available on the New Jersey Courts' website. The bill aims to provide valuable insights into the impacts of the Criminal Justice Reform Act since its enactment on January 1, 2017.
