A 2240 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires law enforcement to notify State Parole Board when parolee violates domestic violence restraining order.

This bill requires New Jersey law enforcement to notify the State Parole Board when a parolee violates a domestic violence restraining order. It directly affects parolees under supervision who breach such orders, as well as law enforcement officers and the Parole Board. The key mechanism mandates officers to check the domestic violence central registry (which now includes parole status) and immediately alert the Parole Board if a parolee is charged with violating a domestic violence order. This ensures the Parole Board is informed to address potential violations of parole conditions. The bill amends existing statutes to streamline this notification process for safety and accountability.

What changed between versions

Technical Review Of Prefiled Bill Introduced · 4 edits · Jan 13, 2026
MODERATE
The bill transitioned from a committee-reported version with technical review to an introduced version pending technical review. The most notable substantive change is that the synopsis now explicitly includes the Judiciary (Administrative Office of the Courts) alongside law enforcement as parties required to notify the State Parole Board about parolee violations of domestic violence restraining orders. A new STATEMENT section was added at the end explaining the bill's purpose, the gap in current law it addresses, and its key mechanisms. Co-sponsors were reduced from nine to one.
SCOPE

The synopsis was broadened to include the Judiciary (AOC) as a notifying party alongside law enforcement when a parolee violates a domestic violence restraining order, not just law enforcement alone.

Co-sponsors were reduced from nine (Haider, Auth, Murphy, Carter, Brennan, Kanitra, Freiman, Flynn, Wainstein) to one (Haider only), indicating a significant reduction in legislative sponsorship at the introduction stage.

TECHNICAL

A new STATEMENT section was added at the end of the bill providing context on current law gaps and explaining how the bill works: SPB notifies AOC about parole status, AOC updates the central registry, a data sharing system must be developed within one year, SPB can access the registry, and SPB can impose parole conditions conforming to restraining order terms.

Several minor corrections were made: 'Title 30 of the Revised Statutes' was corrected to 'Title 30 of the New Jersey Statutes,' and various spacing and punctuation issues were fixed throughout the text.
