Creates a civil cause of action for stalking.

This bill (A 2530) creates a civil lawsuit option for victims of stalking in New Jersey. It allows individuals who experienced stalking (defined as conduct causing reasonable fear for personal safety or a minor child's safety) to sue stalkers in civil court, even if no criminal charges were filed. Victims may seek compensatory damages for losses, punitive damages to punish the stalker, and recovery of attorney fees and costs. The lawsuit must be filed within two years of the last stalking incident, aligning with New Jersey's personal injury statute of limitations.
