Requires AG to establish public awareness campaign concerning Crime Victim's Bill of Rights and VCCO.
This bill requires New Jersey's Attorney General to create a public awareness campaign about the Crime Victim's Bill of Rights (established by P.L.1985, c.249) and the Victims of Crime Compensation Office (VCCO). It directly affects crime victims and their families by improving access to information about their rights and compensation benefits. The campaign must include community outreach, training for agencies, and clear public information about eligible crimes, required claim documents, filing deadlines, and specific compensation benefits offered by the VCCO. The goal is to increase understanding of available support services for victims of crime across the state.
