New Jersey A2489 revises sexual assault training requirements for prosecutors, increasing frequency and adding new modules.

New Jersey A2489 amends existing law to enhance sexual assault training for county prosecutors and assistant county prosecutors. The bill mandates that the Division of Criminal Justice develop or approve a biennial in-service training course and curriculum, focusing on restorative justice, cultural competency, emotional intelligence, and victim-centered approaches. The Attorney General is tasked with ensuring compliance through periodic audits and addressing noncompliance. The training must be completed in person every two years, up from every six years.
