Prohibits certain use of emergency communications receivers for pecuniary gain.

This bill prohibits individuals from using emergency communication receivers (like radios tuned to police, fire, or medical channels) to make money, unless authorized by New Jersey's Department of Law and Public Safety. It directly affects people who might sell or profit from listening to emergency broadcasts, such as through reselling real-time incident information. The key provision makes it a disorderly person offense to use such receivers for profit without authorization, punishable by up to six months in jail, a $1,000 fine, or both. The law amends existing statutes that already ban possessing these receivers during crimes, adding specific rules against commercial exploitation. It takes effect immediately upon passage.
