N.J. Stat. Ann. § 2C:43-27

5. Nothing in P.L.2017, c.42 (C.2C:43-23 et al.) shall be construed to limit or constrain in any way the authority or discretion of a prosecutor to divert, prosecute or pursue any other disposition of a criminal matter involving a defendant who is a servicemember as defined within P.L.2017, c.42 (C.2C:43-23 et al.). When considering the diversion of a servicemember from the criminal justice system, a prosecutor may use the Veterans Diversion Program established pursuant to P.L.2017, c.42 (C.2C:43-23 et al.), any other diversion mechanism authorized by law, or a county-based law enforcement diversion program after considering each program's restrictions, the relief available to the servicemember, and the safety of any victim and the public.
