The New Jersey State Bar Association supports A-2526 (Murphy)/S-3701 (Singleton), which permits courts to order transfer of billing responsibility for, and rights to, wireless telephone number to certain victims of domestic violence or stalking.
The Association thanks the sponsors for amending A-2526 to permit the court, upon the victim’s request, to order the defendant to reimburse the victim for any costs associated with the transfer incurred by the victim. The Association supports this bill as a strong measure to protect and support victims of domestic violence.
For the reasons set forth above, the New Jersey State Bar Association supports A-2526/S-3701 and urges you to vote yes to this proposed legislation.
