"Stephanie's Law"; Requires AOC to establish publicly-accessible domestic violence registry; requires law enforcement officer to search State's domestic violence registries when conducting arrest.
S 2050, "Stephanie's Law," requires New Jersey's Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) to create a publicly available domestic violence registry. This registry will include personal details (name, photo, vehicle info, address) for individuals convicted of domestic violence crimes, subject to final restraining orders, or found in contempt of such orders. Law enforcement officers must search this registry during arrests to check for active domestic violence restraining orders. The bill also establishes procedures for removing erroneous entries and updating address information.
