A 5905 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires law enforcement to notify State Parole Board when parolee violates domestic violence restraining order.*

This bill (A5905) requires courts and law enforcement to notify the State Parole Board when a parolee violates a domestic violence restraining order. It amends New Jersey law to ensure the Domestic Violence Central Registry includes whether a person is on parole supervision, and mandates that the Parole Board check this registry when considering parole for inmates subject to domestic violence restraining orders. The bill also requires the Parole Board to notify the registry when a parolee's status begins or ends. These changes aim to improve communication between the justice system and parole authorities regarding domestic violence cases.
