Establishes three-year Integrated Domestic Violence Court pilot program in Camden, Essex, Hudson, and Middlesex counties.

S 2964 establishes a three-year pilot program for Integrated Domestic Violence Courts in Camden, Essex, Hudson, and Middlesex counties. The program combines domestic violence cases with related family matters (like divorce and child custody) and criminal cases under one judge to improve victim safety, reduce court appearances, and enhance offender accountability. Judges assigned to these courts must have specialized training in domestic violence law, family law, and criminal procedure. The Administrative Office of the Courts will monitor the program and report to the legislature on its effectiveness after 12 months and at the pilot’s conclusion.
