NJ A3731

Establishes a four-year pilot program in Ocean County (or another county if the Attorney General determines a different venue would be more effective) for electronic monitoring of defendants convicted of violating domestic violence restraining orders

Requires victim's informed consent before electronic monitoring can be ordered, with prosecutors required to explain technology limitations, safety procedures, available support services, and the victim's right to terminate participation

Creates the "Domestic Violence Victim Notification Fund" funded by $2.5 million from the General Fund, a $250 monitoring fee on defendants, a $200 civil penalty on those found to have committed domestic violence, and a $250 civil penalty on those convicted of domestic violence crimes or contempt

Makes tampering with, removing, or vandalizing an electronic monitoring device a third-degree crime

Requires the Attorney General to submit annual reports evaluating the pilot program and recommending whether it should be expanded statewide, with unexpended funds returned to the General Fund after the program expires
