"Stephanie's Law"; Requires AOC to establish publicly-accessible domestic violence registry; requires law enforcement officer to search State's domestic violence registries when conducting arrest.

This bill, "Stephanie's Law," requires New Jersey's Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) to create a publicly-accessible online registry listing individuals convicted of domestic violence crimes, subject to final restraining orders, or found in contempt of such orders. The registry will include personal details like name, aliases, physical description, photograph, vehicle information, and address for each person listed. Law enforcement officers must search this public registry, as well as the existing non-public domestic violence registry, during any arrest. Individuals listed can petition for removal if they no longer meet the criteria (e.g., no conviction or restraining order), and must update their address within five days of a change. The law aims to provide accessible information to the public and law enforcement regarding domestic violence histories.
