New Jersey Statutes Title 52. State Government, Departments and Officers 52 § 27B-68

The director shall provide by rule and regulation, subject to the commissioner's approval, for the use and disposal of property which, pursuant to any law of this State, has been seized and forfeited and which has been turned over to the director. Whenever such seized and forfeited property has been turned over to the director, he may, by order, retain the property for the benefit of State institutions and other boards, commissions, agencies and instrumentalities of the State Government; but if, in the opinion of the commissioner, the property can to the greater advantage of the State be sold, the director may cause the same to be sold at public auction at a time and place to be designated by the director, notice of which sale shall be given at least three days before the sale, by publication at least once in a newspaper published in the city of Trenton. The proceeds of any such sale shall be turned over to the treasurer of the State for the use of the State.
