Clarifies that "Prevention of Domestic Violence Act of 1991" covers elder abuse in domestic settings.

This bill amends New Jersey's Prevention of Domestic Violence Act of 1991 to explicitly include elder abuse and abuse of the disabled in domestic settings under the law's definition of "domestic violence." It directly affects elderly and disabled individuals who experience abuse from family members or caregivers in their homes. The key provision clarifies that existing legal protections - including restraining orders, criminal penalties, and law enforcement responses - now apply equally to elder abuse cases as they do to other domestic violence cases. This change ensures consistent legal recourse without creating new offenses, aligning the Act's scope with its original intent to protect vulnerable residents. The bill does not alter criminal statutes but makes the existing law clearer for victims and authorities.
