Bill overview
This bill changes the penalties for auto theft in New Jersey. If a motor vehicle is stolen while someone is committing a home invasion or residential burglary, the crime will be considered a more serious offense. Specifically, auto theft will be classified as a second-degree crime if it occurs during these types of burglaries, and as a first-degree crime if it occurs during a home invasion burglary. Additionally, a conviction for auto theft will not be combined with a conviction for home invasion or residential burglary for sentencing purposes.
