"New Jersey Predatory Alienation Prevention and Consensual Response Act."

This bill establishes the "New Jersey Predatory Alienation Prevention and Consensual Response Act," creating a system to prevent and address predatory alienation - a pattern where individuals are manipulated through isolation, coercion, and undue influence to gain control over their decisions. The law directly affects vulnerable populations (including children, seniors, veterans, individuals with developmental disabilities, and incarcerated people) and facilities serving them, such as hospitals, senior centers, schools, and correctional institutions. Key provisions include mandatory screening assessments for vulnerability, a counseling referral system connecting victims and concerned family members to support services, and public education campaigns with targeted information for different population groups. The system focuses on voluntary, consensual support rather than mandatory interventions, requiring annual reporting on screening results and program effectiveness to ensure it balances victim protection with personal autonomy.
