Overview
This bill modifies the process for receiving compensation from the Victims of Crime Compensation Office (VVCO) in New Jersey. It creates an exception to the usual five-year reporting deadline for sexual offenses if the victim received specific forensic medical services provided by a Sexual Assault Response Team. This change is intended to help victims who may not have immediately reported the offense or sought medical attention, ensuring they still have a chance to receive compensation. The bill also clarifies procedures for determining eligibility and processing claims.
