The bill establishes the New Jersey Commission on Stalking Prevention and Response, aimed at addressing the serious issue of stalking in the state. The commission will consist of 25 members, including legislators, representatives from various state departments, and public advocates, who will evaluate current systems, identify gaps, and recommend actionable reforms to improve prevention efforts, law enforcement responses, and civil remedies for stalking survivors. The commission will also form four subcommittees focused on prevention and public awareness, law enforcement and justice response, civil remedies and legal protections, and executive coordination.

To support the commission's work, the bill appropriates $93,500 from the General Fund, with a provision allowing up to $24,000 to be used for compensating members who are survivors of stalking or advocates. The commission is required to issue a report of its findings and recommendations to the Governor and Legislature within 18 months of its organization, and it will expire upon submission of this report. The bill highlights the need for a coordinated approach to stalking prevention and response, recognizing the gaps in current laws and the importance of a multidisciplinary strategy.
