Establishes the authority of the court to order electronic monitoring of certain convicted domestic violence offenders.
This bill (A 1365) would allow New Jersey courts to order electronic monitoring (using GPS technology) for domestic violence offenders deemed at serious risk of reoffending. It directly affects convicted domestic violence offenders who pose a high risk, requiring courts to consider factors like offense severity before imposing this monitoring. The law adds this as an additional court-ordered requirement, alongside existing provisions such as firearm surrender, counseling, and restrictions on contact with victims or pets. The bill does not mandate monitoring but gives courts discretion to use it as part of sentencing for eligible cases. It is currently pending in the Assembly Judiciary Committee.
