7:9-5. Failure to Pay

7:9-5. Failure to Pay
If without just cause or excuse, a defendant defaults on payment of a municipal
court imposed financial obligation, the judge, on the record, may order the defendant to
pay an aggregate monetary sanction for each order setting forth time payments not to
exceed $50. The defendant shall pay the assessed sanction to the municipal court to be
disbursed to the municipality where the offense occurred. This sanction shall be in
addition to any other penalty imposed by statute or rule for failure to pay. A defendant’s
inability to pay constitutes just cause for purposes of this rule.
Note: Adopted July 17, 2018 to be effective September 1, 2018.
