Requires court to consider results of domestic violence assessment before dissolving certain domestic violence restraining orders.

This bill (A 3484) requires New Jersey courts to consider the results of a domestic violence assessment before dissolving certain domestic violence restraining orders. It directly affects defendants seeking to dissolve an existing order and the courts reviewing those requests. The key mechanism mandates that if a defendant is subject to two or more restraining orders under P.L.1991, c.261, they must undergo a domestic violence assessment (paid by the defendant), and the court must consider the assessment findings alongside other specified factors when deciding whether to dissolve the order. The assessment findings are confidential and become part of the court's consideration process.
