Directs Office of Public Defender to provide legal representation for certain criminal contempt violations.

This bill requires New Jersey's Office of Public Defender to provide legal representation for indigent defendants (those unable to afford a lawyer) charged with criminal contempt for violating domestic violence protection orders under the Prevention of Domestic Violence Act. It mandates that the Public Defender appoint licensed social workers to assist attorneys and clients in these cases. The law excludes certain specific types of protection orders (from paragraphs 3, 4, 5, 8, and 9 of the domestic violence act) from this requirement. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
