Directs AG to investigate whether pedophile organizations use the internet to encourage sex offenders to violate State law.
AJR 176 is a joint resolution directing New Jersey's Attorney General to investigate whether organizations promoting the legalization of sexual relationships between adults and minors use the internet to encourage sex offenders to violate state age-of-consent laws. The bill requires the Attorney General to report findings to the Governor and Legislature within one year. It specifically targets online activities of such groups, which the resolution states recruit members and advocate for abolishing age-of-consent protections. The resolution does not create new laws but mandates an investigation into these internet-based activities.
