Bill overview
This bill allows New Jersey courts to issue restraining orders to defendants charged with crimes as a condition of their release on bail, appearance bond, or personal recognizance. These orders would prohibit the defendant from entering specific locations, including places related to the crime or where witnesses reside. The court can waive the order if the defendant has a legitimate reason to be at the location or if issuing the order would cause undue hardship. Violations of the order could result in contempt charges or revocation of bail conditions.
