A 3731 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes four-year pilot program in Ocean County for electronic monitoring of certain domestic violence offenders; appropriates $2.5 million.*

This bill establishes a four-year pilot program in Ocean County called "Lisa's Law" that would require electronic monitoring of certain domestic violence offenders with the victim's informed consent. The program would apply to defendants convicted of contempt of domestic violence orders, and courts would consider factors like the severity of past violence, access to weapons, and mental health history before ordering monitoring. The bill appropriates $2.5 million from the General Fund to the Domestic Violence Victim Notification Fund, which would collect monitoring fees ($250 per defendant, waivable in cases of financial hardship) and cover program costs. Electronic monitoring devices would need to meet National Institute of Justice standards, and the Attorney General would submit annual reports evaluating the program's effectiveness and recommending whether to continue it statewide.
