To all bounty hunters, bail runners, bail recovery agents, bail enforcement agents, fugitive recovery agents, or any other person who, for a fee, hire or reward, act in such capacity. The Bounty Hunter Licensing Act, N.J.S.A. 45:19-28 to 45:19-42 was enacted on January 12, 2006, with an effective date of February, 2007. However, the legislation also recognized the ability of the Superintendent of State Police to take such anticipatory administrative actions as shall be necessary in order to fulfill his statutory responsibilities under the act.
Therefore, since immediate implementation of the act cannot be accomplished, the Superintendent has directed that the original effective date established by the act be postponed. Upon complete development of all programs required for implementation of this act, notification will
be provided for the new effective date in a timely and efficient manner.
This action will not alter any provisions of the Bounty Hunter Licensing Act, nor any time periods established by the act for the filing of applications.
Potential applicants are encouraged to maintain contact with this web site for future updates and details regarding program development and implementation of this act.
Thank you for your cooperation.
FOR COLONEL JOSEPH R. FUENTES
Sincerely,
SUPERINTENDENT
DSFC Edward McDonough
