A 1907 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes the authority of the court to order electronic monitoring of certain convicted domestic violence offenders.

This New Jersey bill allows courts to order GPS-based electronic monitoring for domestic violence offenders deemed to present a serious risk of re-offending. The Administrative Office of the Courts must establish a program for continuous satellite-based monitoring of eligible defendants, with costs borne by the monitored individuals. The legislation specifies that defendants face criminal penalties for tampering with monitoring devices or failing to comply with monitoring requirements. The bill appropriates $500,000 from the General Fund to implement the monitoring program. This policy aims to enhance victim safety by providing courts with an additional tool to monitor high-risk domestic violence offenders.
