A 1946 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires Division of Violence Intervention and Victim Assistance to review and implement strategies and systemic modifications to assist crime victims and expands locations for posting information on crime victims' compensation.

This bill requires New Jersey's Division of Violence Intervention and Victim Assistance to develop new strategies and systemic changes to help crime victims apply for compensation. Key mechanisms include sending staff to hospitals for immediate assistance and creating a 24-hour hotline/email for emergency support requests. It expands where victims' compensation information must be posted, adding county courthouses, municipal courts, and all hospital emergency departments (including satellite emergency departments). The policy directly affects crime victims statewide by making it easier to access financial aid and support services after an incident.
