This bill mandates the posting of signs and distribution of pamphlets in emergency rooms to inform victims of crime about the Victims of Crime Compensation Office (VCCO). The Commissioner of Health, in collaboration with the Attorney General, is tasked with developing and producing these materials, which must be clearly written and easily understandable. The information provided will include details about the services and benefits offered by the VCCO, contact information, and the procedures for filing a compensation claim.

The bill specifies that these pamphlets and signs must be made available in every emergency department of general hospitals and in satellite emergency departments licensed under New Jersey law. This initiative aims to ensure that victims of crime are aware of the resources available to them at a critical time when they may need assistance. The act is set to take effect on the first day of the fourth month following its enactment.
