Provides mandatory minimum term of imprisonment for certain crimes of domestic violence.

This New Jersey bill (A 2958) imposes mandatory minimum prison sentences for specific domestic violence crimes, directly affecting convicted offenders of the following offenses: homicide, aggravated assault, kidnapping, criminal restraint, sexual assault, and criminal sexual contact committed against intimate partners or family members. It sets fixed minimum sentences: 18 months for fourth-degree crimes, 5 years for third-degree, 10 years for second-degree, and 20 years for first-degree crimes, with parole ineligibility periods equal to half the sentence (or 42 months minimum). The bill requires courts to apply these minimums unless other laws mandate longer sentences. It aims to ensure consistent, severe penalties for violent domestic crimes by removing judicial discretion on minimum terms.
