Bill overview
This bill clarifies that attempting or conspiring to commit certain offenses – including homicide, assault, terroristic threats, and others – can be considered acts of domestic violence under New Jersey law. Currently, the law doesn't explicitly include these attempts or conspiracies. The bill amends the definition of ‘domestic violence’ to encompass these actions, aligning with a recent court decision that excluded attempted murder from the list of offenses subject to a domestic violence surcharge.
