Establishes standards for court-ordered counseling for domestic violence offenders.
S 3458 establishes specific requirements for court-ordered domestic violence counseling programs in New Jersey. The bill mandates that these programs must include four key components: risk assessments to identify domestic violence patterns, education on power and control tactics, a system for tracking offender attendance, and regular reviews by the New Jersey Department of Children and Families for state-funded programs. These standards apply to any counseling ordered by a court for domestic violence offenders, whether as part of pretrial release or a restraining order. The bill implements a 2023 state report recommendation to improve accountability and program effectiveness.
