Overview
This bill amends New Jersey law to upgrade the offense of criminal mischief. Specifically, it increases the severity of the crime if a person damages or impairs the operation of a school bus while a child under the age of 16 is present. The offense would be classified as a third-degree crime if the damage causes bodily injury to a child, and a fourth-degree crime otherwise. It also clarifies the definition of ‘school bus’ for legal purposes.
