Strengthens location confidentiality for certain crime victims.
This bill strengthens the confidentiality of victims' locations in New Jersey for victims of stalking, domestic violence, assault, harassment, cyber-harassment, and sex offenses. It amends multiple statutes to require that victims' locations not appear on any law enforcement or court documents or records accessible to the defendant, without requiring a separate court order for this protection. The bill applies to both temporary and permanent restraining orders and clarifies that this confidentiality applies to all relevant documents, including those related to domestic violence cases. Victims of these specific crimes will no longer need to separately request location confidentiality, as it becomes automatically protected under the law. This change aims to prevent abusers from locating victims through official records while maintaining legal procedures for these cases.
