Requires court to consider results of domestic violence assessment before dissolving certain domestic violence restraining orders.

This bill requires New Jersey courts to consider the results of a domestic violence assessment before dissolving restraining orders when a defendant has two or more such orders against them. The assessment, conducted by a qualified professional like a psychologist or social worker, evaluates the likelihood of future violence and is paid for by the defendant. Courts must weigh this assessment along with other factors, including whether the victim fears the defendant, the defendant's history of contempt violations, and whether the defendant has engaged in counseling. The bill defines the assessment process and requires the Administrative Office of the Courts to develop standards for who can conduct these assessments.
