A 2010 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Strengthens location confidentiality for certain crime victims.

This New Jersey bill strengthens protections for crime victims by ensuring their location remains confidential in stalking and domestic violence cases. It requires courts to automatically issue restraining orders upon a stalking conviction (Section 3), prevents victim locations from appearing on documents accessible to defendants, and extends these protections to children, developmentally disabled individuals, and vulnerable adults (Section 2). The bill also mandates confidentiality for domestic violence cases (Section 9) and applies to all stalking-related court documents (Section 4). These changes directly affect victims of stalking, domestic violence, and their legal representatives, while limiting defendants' access to sensitive location information.
