S 4203 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Creates domestic violence Internet registry for certain public access; mandates counseling and community service and increases fines for certain domestic violence offenders.

S 4203 creates a publicly accessible online registry of individuals convicted of domestic violence offenses in New Jersey, including their name, aliases, offense details, physical description, photo, vehicle information, and last known address. It mandates that courts order domestic violence offenders to complete professional counseling (6 months for first offense, up to 2 years for repeat offenses) and perform at least one year of community service. The bill also significantly increases fines for domestic violence convictions: $500 for a first offense, $1,000 for a second, and $5,000 for a third or subsequent offense. Offenders can petition for removal from the registry after 2, 7, or 20 years (depending on offense count), but those convicted of homicide, sexual assault, or aggravated assault are ineligible for removal.
