A 3471 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires AOC to release domestic violence central registry records to certain health care practitioners.

This bill requires New Jersey's Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) to share domestic violence registry records with specific licensed healthcare providers. It directly affects healthcare professionals (like doctors, nurses, and therapists) who have a legal duty to warn patients about potential violence under existing law. The key change expands current access rules to allow these providers to view the registry when they have a duty to protect a patient from domestic violence. Records remain confidential and can only be used for this specific safety purpose, with violations punishable as a fourth-degree crime.
