AI Summary
This bill requires that any individual appointed as a county prosecutor in New Jersey must live in the county they are appointed to serve for the entire duration of their term, and even after their term ends until a qualified replacement is officially in place. A county prosecutor is a legal official responsible for bringing criminal cases on behalf of the state within a specific county, and this new provision aims to ensure they maintain a local connection to the community they represent.
