S.1064

Establishes mandatory domestic violence training for human resources officers of public employers in New Jersey.

The bill mandates the Civil Service Commission to create a domestic violence training program for human resources officers of public employers. This program will educate officers on handling and responding to reports of domestic violence. Training must include the impact of domestic violence, protection order basics, and available community resources. The commission must consult with law enforcement, prosecutors, and social workers. Training is free and available to all public employers, regardless of civil service provisions. The commission must review and modify the program every two years.
