New Jersey A295 expands the VINE system to notify domestic violence victims when the status of the defendant changes.

New Jersey A295 amends existing law to require automatic notification to domestic violence victims through the Victim Information and Notification Everyday System (VINE) when the status of the defendant changes. This includes notifications when the defendant is released from custody, discharged, transferred, or released on bail for a violation of a restraining order or any crime or offense. The bill ensures the victim's location remains confidential and does not appear on any documents or records accessible to the defendant.
