Requires expedited risk assessment and community notification for certain registered sex offenders who move to this State from another jurisdiction.*

The bill now applies to sex offenders who are 'first residing or returning to' New Jersey, not just those establishing residence for the first time. This captures offenders who leave and come back.

The county prosecutor must now explicitly 'make a determination regarding the offender's risk of re-offense' before notification, making the assessment step more formal and accountable.

Requests for judicial review must now be made using a form approved by the Administrative Director of the Courts, standardizing the process.

The statutory cross-reference was narrowed from a general reference to section 2 of Megan's Law to specifically paragraph (3) of subsection c. of that section, and the phrase 'and intends to establish residence in this State' was removed from the triggering condition.

Satellite-based monitoring during the pendency of judicial review is now explicitly tied to the Sex Offender Monitoring Act (P.L.2007, c.128), and the State Parole Board must provide the offender with written notice of monitoring conditions and any fines, fees, or penalties for violations.
