Makes it aggravated sexual assault or sexual contact for transportation network company or taxicab driver to commit act of sexual penetration or sexual contact using coercion or without permission on passenger.

New Jersey's Bill A1407 amends criminal law to specifically classify sexual penetration by transportation network company or taxicab drivers against passengers using coercion or without consent as aggravated sexual assault (a first-degree crime). Similarly, sexual contact under these circumstances would be classified as aggravated criminal sexual contact (a third-degree crime). This provision directly targets drivers of ride-sharing services (like Uber/Lyft) and traditional taxis, making such acts against passengers subject to enhanced penalties. The bill ensures that these specific offenses are treated as serious crimes with severe consequences, reflecting the vulnerability of passengers in transportation settings.
