S 1082 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires child abuse reporting hotline maintained by DCPP to provide information on resources available to victims and families.

S 1082 amends New Jersey's child abuse reporting law to require the Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCPP) hotline to provide callers with information about available resources for victims of abuse and their families. The bill directly affects individuals contacting the hotline by adding access to community services like counseling, parenting programs, substance abuse treatment, and foster care options. It modifies existing hotline requirements (P.L.1971, c.437) to mandate this resource information alongside emergency reporting. The change ensures families receive immediate guidance to connect with support services during critical moments.
