Provides mandatory minimum term of imprisonment for certain crimes of domestic violence.

This bill (A2516) mandates fixed minimum prison terms for individuals convicted of specific violent domestic violence crimes, including homicide, aggravated assault, kidnapping, sexual assault, and criminal restraint when committed against intimate partners or family members. It sets minimum sentences of 18 months for fourth-degree offenses up to 20 years for first-degree crimes, with parole ineligibility periods equal to half the sentence (or 42 months minimum). The law applies unless another statute specifies a harsher penalty, and requires courts to impose these terms without discretion for the listed offenses. It directly affects convicted domestic violence offenders in New Jersey and aims to establish consistent sentencing for severe violent acts within domestic contexts.
