The bill, known as Stephanies Law, mandates the establishment of a publicly-accessible domestic violence Internet registry by the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) in collaboration with the Attorney General. This registry will include information on individuals who have been convicted of domestic violence crimes, have had final restraining orders issued against them, or have committed contempt of such orders. The registry will contain detailed personal information about these individuals, including their names, aliases, descriptions of offenses, physical characteristics, photographs, vehicle details, and last known addresses. Additionally, individuals erroneously included in the registry can petition for their removal under specific conditions, and they are required to update their address within five days of any change.

Furthermore, the bill requires law enforcement officers to check both the new domestic violence registry and the existing central registry when making an arrest to determine if any restraining orders are in place against the individual. The Attorney General is authorized to create necessary regulations to implement the law. This legislation is named in memory of Stephanie Nicole Parze, a domestic violence victim, and aims to enhance protections for victims of domestic violence in New Jersey.
