A bill introduced during the current session of the New Jersey Assembly would authorize criminal courts to require people who are convicted of certain first-degree drug crimes to contribute to the cost of their own prosecution. This would add to fines already written into New Jersey law, which can amount to at least $750,000 against certain drug trafficking offenders, and even more based on a statutory formula that computes the fine at five times the street value of confiscated drugs.
