S 2399 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Creates sexual assault prevention and response program and coordinator for service members.

This bill creates a dedicated sexual assault prevention and response program and coordinator within New Jersey's Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, specifically for service members including the New Jersey National Guard. The program allows victims to file confidential complaints with the coordinator (independently from military leadership), receive advocacy services, and access victim compensation. Key provisions include the coordinator referring cases to the Attorney General for investigation, assisting victims in obtaining protective orders, and requiring annual reports on program effectiveness and sexual assault statistics. The bill directly affects service members who experience sexual assault and provides new reporting mechanisms and support services.
