New Jersey S104 amends victim compensation to include expenses for service animals required due to crime-related injuries.

New Jersey S104 amends the state's victim compensation law to ensure that crime victims can receive compensation for expenses related to service animals. These expenses include procuring or providing treatment to a service animal, as defined by the federal Americans with Disabilities Act, if the animal is required due to injuries sustained from the crime. This change aims to cover costs that victims may incur for necessary services related to their service animals.
