Bill Summary
This bill prohibits a student enrolled in a public school who is convicted of, or adjudicated delinquent for, committing aggravated sexual assault or sexual assault under N.J.S.2C:14-2 or aggravated criminal sexual contact or criminal sexual contact under N.J.S.2C:14-3, or an attempt to commit any of these offenses, from: (1) attending the same school building that is attended by the victim of the violation, and (2) utilizing the same school bus that is used by the victim for transportation to and from school. The court will order these prohibitions as part of the sentence, disposition of delinquency, probation order, or other disposition for the offense. This bill is similar to a bill recently introduced in the state of Michigan in order to ensure that a juvenile who sexually assaulted several students could be prohibited from returning to the same school building and same bus route as his victims.
