Requires AG to establish public awareness campaign concerning Crime Victim's Bill of Rights and VCCO.
This bill requires New Jersey's Attorney General to create a public awareness campaign about the Crime Victim's Bill of Rights and the Victims of Crime Compensation Office (VCCO). The campaign must include community outreach, training for agencies, and public information about VCCO services - such as eligible crimes, required claim documents, filing deadlines, and available benefits. It directly affects crime victims, their families, and organizations that serve them by making compensation resources more accessible. The bill takes immediate effect upon enactment, aiming to increase understanding of victims' rights and support systems.
