Establishes standards for court-ordered counseling for domestic violence offenders.

S 2848 establishes mandatory standards for court-ordered domestic violence counseling programs in New Jersey. It requires all such programs (for defendants ordered to participate in domestic violence cases) to include four specific components: risk assessments identifying violence dynamics, education on power/control tactics, verified attendance protocols, and oversight by the Department of Children and Families. These standards apply to counseling ordered during pretrial release or as part of final restraining orders in domestic violence cases. The bill implements a 2023 recommendation from the Joint Committee on Criminal Justice and would take effect three months after enactment.
