Requires court to consider results of domestic violence assessment before dissolving certain domestic violence restraining orders.
This bill requires New Jersey courts to consider a domestic violence assessment before dissolving certain restraining orders. It applies when a defendant seeks to end a restraining order under P.L.1991, c.261, specifically if the defendant has two or more such orders. The court must review the assessment findings (paid for by the defendant) alongside other factors like victim safety, the defendant's history of violence or substance abuse, and whether the victim fears the defendant. The assessment results are kept confidential. This change aims to ensure courts make informed decisions about dissolving orders while prioritizing victim safety.
