A 3350 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Adds new civil penalties and increases surcharges imposed on domestic violence offenders; establishes "Domestic Violence Victims' Legal Assistance Fund."

This bill (A3350) increases penalties for domestic violence offenders in New Jersey and creates a dedicated fund for victim legal services. It adds two civil penalties: a $50-$500 fine payable immediately, and a $1,500 penalty paid over three years ($500 annually). All funds from these penalties, plus an increased $500 surcharge on domestic violence convictions, flow into the "Domestic Violence Victims' Legal Assistance Fund." The fund will directly support organizations providing legal advocacy, medical assistance, and referrals to domestic violence victims. The bill affects offenders who pay penalties and victims who receive enhanced legal services through the new fund.
