Establishes presumption that VCCO will order payment to victim of crime.*

Maddy summaryThis bill amends New Jersey's Criminal Injuries Compensation Act to establish a presumption that the Victims of Crime Compensation Office (VCCO) will approve payments to eligible crime victims. It extends the filing deadline for claims from three to five years (with the timeline starting when a minor turns 18) and requires the VCCO to make decisions within 90 days of receiving complete applications. The presumption means compensation will be granted unless specific denial reasons apply, such as the victim's criminal history or lack of cooperation with law enforcement. This change streamlines access to financial support for victims of qualifying crimes, including medical costs, lost wages, and funeral expenses.

Requires MVC to provide customer service telephone number at motor vehicle inspection facilities.

Maddy summaryThis bill (NJ A1581) requires the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to prominently display a toll-free customer service phone number at all official vehicle inspection facilities. It directly affects vehicle owners who use these facilities by providing a clear way to report technical issues they encounter during inspections. The key provision mandates that MVC display this number conspicuously, allowing customers to call and report problems directly to the commission. The law took effect immediately upon approval.
