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 is a fourth-degree crime. This legislation would elevate it to a third-degree crime, which carries a more significant 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.
