This bill mandates the development and distribution of informational pamphlets and signs regarding the Victims of Crime Compensation Office (VCCO) in emergency rooms across New Jersey. The Commissioner of Health, in collaboration with the Attorney General, is tasked with creating 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 must be distributed and signs posted in every emergency department of general hospitals and licensed satellite emergency departments. This initiative aims to ensure that victims of crime are informed about their rights and available resources at a critical time when they may need assistance. The act is set to take effect four months after its enactment.
