Permits victims and witnesses of human trafficking to testify in criminal proceedings via closed circuit television; permits judge to make motion to seek closed circuit testimony.

This bill expands New Jersey's law to allow all human trafficking victims and witnesses to testify via closed-circuit television in criminal trials, removing a current limitation that only applied to trafficking involving sexual activity. Courts may order this testimony only after finding by clear evidence that the person would suffer severe emotional distress testifying in person, with specific requirements to protect cross-examination rights and allow observation of demeanor. Victims, prosecutors, defendants, or judges may request this option, and the law specifies rules for recording, confidentiality (especially for minors), and access to testimony records. The change aims to reduce trauma for vulnerable witnesses while maintaining legal safeguards.
