Overview
This bill aims to improve public safety in New Jersey by requiring more proactive measures when registered sex offenders move to the state from other jurisdictions. It mandates that the Attorney General develop procedures for quickly assessing an offender’s risk of re-offense and notifying the community if they pose a significant threat. The bill also requires offenders to register with law enforcement before establishing residency in New Jersey, and establishes a process for expedited judicial review and monitoring if a prosecutor determines an offender is at high risk.
