Concerns "Sexual Violence Restorative Justice Pilot Program."

This bill establishes a three-year pilot program in New Jersey for restorative justice approaches to support survivors of sexual violence. It requires the Attorney General to partner with two specialized organizations - one to design the program with trauma-informed expertise (not linked to law enforcement) and another to implement it - to offer voluntary participation for survivors, including those who haven’t reported crimes to police. All program communications are confidential and protected from court use (except to prevent serious harm), and the program must be evaluated with a report to the legislature within 90 days, recommending whether to continue, expand, or make it permanent. The initiative directly affects survivors seeking healing alternatives, while emphasizing their autonomy and control throughout the process.
