Requires VCCO to issue annual report to Governor and Legislature.
This bill (S 2223) requires New Jersey's Victims of Crime Compensation Office (VCCO) to issue an annual report to the Governor and Legislature. The report must summarize compensation awards from the previous fiscal year, including the number of applications granted or denied (with reasons), award amounts, victim demographics, services covered, and office funding. It must be completed within six months after the fiscal year ends and published online by the Department of Law and Public Safety. The bill directly affects the VCCO by mandating regular transparency about its operations and outcomes for crime victims.
