S 4475 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires law enforcement to notify State Parole Board when parolee violates domestic violence restraining order.

This bill requires law enforcement officers in New Jersey to immediately notify the State Parole Board if a person charged with violating a domestic violence restraining order is currently on parole. The legislation mandates that officers check a new central registry to identify parolees and ensures the Parole Board Chairman is informed whenever a contempt charge is filed against someone under supervision. Additionally, the bill establishes procedures for setting bail and handling contempt proceedings, including a requirement that second or subsequent nonindictable domestic violence contempt offenses result in a minimum 30-day jail sentence. These changes aim to improve communication between law enforcement and the parole system to address domestic violence violations more effectively.
