Establishes Statewide program to provide treatment services for children exposed to domestic violence.
This bill directs the New Jersey Department of Children and Families to create a statewide program offering therapeutic treatment and counseling for children and their families exposed to domestic violence. To support this initiative, the department will provide grants to service providers, assign staff to assist with implementation, and require participating organizations to keep detailed records of their services. The legislation also mandates that the department collect data on program participation and effectiveness, reporting these findings annually to the Governor and the Legislature. Funding for the program will be drawn from the state's General Fund, and the act takes effect immediately upon passage.
