Requires provision of trauma-informed reentry support services to certain defendants who are victims of abuse.*

This bill establishes a new sentencing consideration for defendants who were victims of domestic violence and whose abuse contributed to their criminal behavior. It amends New Jersey's sentencing guidelines to allow courts to impose reduced sentences when this factor is present, with specific sentencing ranges for different crime degrees (e.g., up to 10 years for first-degree crimes). The bill also creates a process for people currently incarcerated for 8+ years for crimes committed before the law's effective date to apply for resentencing, requiring evidence of domestic violence victimization at the time of the offense. Additionally, it requires the Department of Corrections to establish a grant program supporting trauma-informed reentry services, including mental health counseling, vocational training, and housing assistance for eligible individuals.
