Makes various revisions to the Crime Victims' Bill of Rights.

This bill updates New Jersey's Crime Victims' Bill of Rights to clarify and expand the protections available to victims and witnesses throughout the criminal justice process. It directly affects individuals involved in crimes by ensuring they are treated with dignity, kept informed about case progress, and allowed to submit statements regarding the impact of the crime before sentencing. Key provisions include the right to receive timely notifications about court changes, the prompt return of property, and the ability to appear in court to voice opinions on plea negotiations. Additionally, the legislation reinforces that victims should not be required to pay costs related to the imprisonment of the person who harmed them.
