Overview
This bill creates a new crime in New Jersey called ‘theft by financial exploitation of a vulnerable person.’ It applies when someone in a position of trust – such as a family member, caregiver, or fiduciary – uses their trust to commit a theft offense against a senior citizen or a person with a disability. The bill also clarifies definitions related to vulnerable individuals and establishes that convictions for this new crime will be handled separately from any underlying theft offenses.
