Creates sexual assault prevention and response program and coordinator for service members.
This bill (A3203) creates a sexual assault prevention and response program within New Jersey's Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, including a dedicated coordinator who operates independently from military chain of command. The program directly affects service members (including New Jersey National Guard members) who experience sexual assault or harassment, providing confidential complaint options, victim advocacy services, and access to compensation. Key provisions allow victims to file confidential complaints, convert them to formal complaints, receive notices about subsequent accusations against the accused, and have protective orders filed on their behalf with consent. The program requires annual reports to the Governor and Legislature detailing prevention efforts, incident statistics, training gaps, and response strategies.
