Requires signs to be posted and pamphlets to be distributed in emergency rooms regarding VCCO.
This bill requires New Jersey hospitals to provide clear information about the Victims of Crime Compensation Office (VCCO) to patients who are crime victims in emergency rooms. It mandates that the Commissioner of Health, working with the Attorney General, create easily understandable pamphlets and signs detailing VCCO services, contact details, and how to file a claim. These materials must be distributed to crime victims and posted prominently in all general hospital emergency departments and licensed satellite emergency clinics. The policy aims to ensure victims of crime can access compensation resources immediately after an incident. The bill takes effect four months after enactment.
