Requires members of Sexual Assault Response Team to receive training on interacting with victims with developmental disabilities.
This bill requires New Jersey county Sexual Assault Response Teams to include specific training on interacting with victims who have developmental disabilities as part of their standard education program. The teams, composed of forensic sexual assault nurse examiners, rape care advocates, and law enforcement officials, must now receive this training under existing law. The amendment adds "interacting with victims who have developmental disabilities" as a required topic in the standardized training curriculum developed by county program coordinators. This change ensures team members receive targeted instruction to better support victims with developmental disabilities during sexual assault investigations and medical examinations.
