New Jersey S966 expands the definition of domestic violence to include psychological and economic abuse.
New Jersey S966 amends the "Prevention of Domestic Violence Act of 1991" to broaden the definition of domestic violence. The bill includes psychological abuse, defined as any act causing fear or serious alarm that substantially impacts a person's daily activities, and economic abuse, which affects a person's ability to acquire, use, or maintain money or property or obtain goods or services. This change aims to provide broader protection and legal recourse for victims of domestic violence.
