S 4192 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes "Support for Victims of Domestic Violence Program"; incentivizes certain businesses to provide support to individuals who are victims of domestic violence.

This bill creates the "Support for Victims of Domestic Violence Program" in New Jersey to encourage businesses to help people who have recently experienced domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. The program works by offering tax credits to eligible businesses that agree to provide specific goods and services, such as housing, clothing, technology, and emergency accommodations, to victims based on regional needs. The Division on Women will divide the state into three regions to assess local resource gaps and set priorities for what businesses should provide, updating these plans every three years. By linking financial incentives to these commitments, the legislation aims to expand the safety net available to survivors without changing the legal definition of domestic violence itself.
