Bill overview
This bill amends New Jersey’s stalking laws to increase the severity of the crime when the victim is under 18 years old. Currently, stalking a minor is a fourth-degree crime. This legislation would elevate it to a third-degree crime, carrying a more substantial potential penalty. The bill also clarifies definitions related to ‘course of conduct’ and ‘repeatedly’ within the context of stalking, and addresses repeat offenses and stalking while incarcerated or on probation.
