A 4650 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Increases penalties for juvenile adjudicated delinquent for certain acts related to motor vehicles.

This bill increases penalties for juveniles with repeated motor vehicle-related offenses. It mandates a one-year incarceration for juveniles adjudicated delinquent for a third or subsequent offense involving theft of a motor vehicle, unlawful taking of a motor vehicle, eluding law enforcement, or theft of a catalytic converter. Currently, first offenses of these types require 60 days of community service, but this bill adds mandatory prison time for repeat offenders. The bill directly affects juveniles who have previously been adjudicated for these specific motor vehicle offenses. It changes sentencing options by adding a mandatory incarceration requirement for repeat offenders in these categories.
