Enhances "Crime Victim's Bill of Rights"; prohibits defendant from entering crime victim's home throughout criminal justice process, including in relation to any investigation or discovery.

This bill amends New Jersey's Crime Victim's Bill of Rights (P.L.1985, c.249) to explicitly prohibit defendants from entering a crime victim's home at any point during criminal proceedings, including for investigations or discovery. It specifically adds subsection (s) to guarantee victims are "free from risk of the defendant entering the victim’s home for any purpose." The exception allows court-approved inspections of a victim's home only if the defendant shows a legitimate reason to believe the inspection will yield relevant evidence, with strict privacy protections like time, place, and manner restrictions. This update strengthens existing protections under the bill's subsections (c) and (d), which already safeguard victims from intimidation and minimize inconvenience. The change aligns with the 2014 State ex rel. A.B. court ruling that established similar safeguards.
