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

This bill updates New Jersey's Prevention of Domestic Violence Act of 1991 to explicitly include elderly and disabled adults living in non-institutionalized settings (like their homes or community housing) as protected victims. It amends the law's definition of "domestic violence" and "victim" to clarify that emotional, psychological, physical, and financial abuse against these vulnerable groups must be treated equally to abuse against spouses or children. The change ensures law enforcement and courts apply existing protections consistently to elder abuse in domestic contexts, closing a gap where such cases weren't clearly covered under prior law. This affects elderly and disabled residents who rely on family or caregivers but face abuse without clear legal recourse.
