A 5771 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires victim notification concerning termination of sex offender's obligation to register and requires court to enter or continue restraining order for victim of sex offense under certain circumstances.

This New Jersey bill requires courts to notify victims when a sex offender applies to be removed from the state's registration list, providing victims the opportunity to attend hearings and express their views. It mandates that courts inform victims if the application is granted, terminating the offender's registration requirement. The bill also requires courts to issue restraining orders prohibiting contact between sex offenders and victims when victims consent, and these orders must remain in effect until modified or terminated with the victim's consent. These provisions apply to all cases involving sex offenses where registration is required under New Jersey law. The bill directly affects victims of sex offenses, sex offenders required to register, and the courts handling these cases.
