Concerns "Sexual Violence Restorative Justice Pilot Program."
This bill establishes a three-year "Sexual Violence Restorative Justice Pilot Program" in New Jersey, administered by the Attorney General through trauma-informed organizations (not tied to law enforcement). It directly serves survivors of sexual violence - including those who chose not to report to police - by offering voluntary restorative practices focused on their autonomy, healing, and control, with no mandatory participation. Key provisions include strict confidentiality for all program communications (preventing use in court unless waived), requirements for statewide service access, and a post-pilot evaluation report to the Governor and Legislature. The program aims to complement traditional justice systems by prioritizing survivor needs through structured, survivor-led processes.
