Establishes pilot program in certain municipalities to make grants available to non-profit organizations to perform outreach regarding VCCO.
This bill establishes a three-year pilot program in New Jersey's six highest-crime municipalities (based on police data) to provide grants to non-profit organizations. These grants will fund community outreach efforts to inform crime victims about compensation available through the Victims of Crime Compensation Office (VCCO). The program requires the Department of Law and Public Safety to evaluate its effectiveness and submit a report to the Governor and Legislature within 90 days after completion, recommending whether to continue, expand, or make the program permanent. The initiative directly affects non-profits receiving grants, crime victims in targeted cities, and state agencies managing the VCCO.
