How States Have Worked with the Alliance
NEW JERSEY
New Jersey passed a version of the "Stay Out of Drug Area" provisions in the Model Crimes Code Provisions to Protect Tenants, and a criminal justice treatment law which embraces many of the principles in the Model Criminal Justice Treatment Act. The Governor and the Attorney General introduced nuisance abatement and expedited eviction bills based on the NAMSDL's model laws. The state passed a law designating housing projects, public parks and public buildings as drug-free school zones. The Attorney General's office funded and oversees a drug court involving residential treatment for offenders. NAMSDL is assisting the Attorney General's office in its evaluation of the drug court by helping to identify the information and questions which will measure the quality of the treatment provided.
