AI Summary

This bill creates a behavioral health court pilot program in at least two counties and five municipalities in New Jersey. The program allows certain individuals convicted of crimes, who are in need of behavioral health care services, to be sentenced to a term of "behavioral health special probation" instead of incarceration. The bill outlines the eligibility requirements, the terms and conditions of the probation, and the process for revoking the probation. The Administrative Office of the Courts is required to monitor the pilot program and report to the Legislature on its impact and effectiveness.
