Overview
This bill amends the New Jersey Domestic Violence Restraining Order law to ensure that a final restraining order continues to protect other individuals listed on the order even after the original plaintiff’s death. It also mandates that prosecutors notify all protected persons, not just the original victim, when a defendant is released from custody. This aims to strengthen protections for those at risk and improve transparency in the legal process.
