A 3788 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Creates sexual assault prevention and response program and coordinator for service members.

New Jersey's A 3788 establishes a sexual assault prevention and response program within the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, featuring an independent coordinator who operates outside the military chain of command. The program allows service members (including National Guard members) to file confidential complaints about sexual assault regardless of when the incident occurred - on or off duty - and provides victim advocacy, referrals to prosecutors, and assistance obtaining protective orders. Annual reports to the legislature will track assault statistics, investigation outcomes, and program effectiveness, with data limited to aggregated statistics to protect victim privacy. This applies to current and former service members, covering incidents involving New Jersey National Guard personnel.
