The NJSBA supports A-2770 (Stanley)/S-1517 (Greenstein), as amended, which authorizes the issuance of restraining orders under the now-existing Sexual Assault Survivor Protection Act (SASPA). The amendments add the crimes of stalking and cyber harassment to SASPA and renames the law to the Victim’s Assistance and Survivor Protection Act (VASPA) , which offers necessary protections to victims of stalking and cyber harassment as well as those already enumerated in SASPA.
The NJSBA thanks the sponsors of both A-2770 and S-1517 as well as the stakeholders for their work on this bill and urges you to vote yes.
