Creates offense of tracking for unlawful purpose; imposes enhanced penalties.

This bill creates a new crime for intentionally tracking a vehicle using a location device (like GPS) with the purpose of committing an unlawful act, such as domestic violence, sexual assault, or vehicle theft. It classifies this as a fourth-degree offense but mandates a mandatory five-year prison sentence under enhanced sentencing rules, replacing standard penalties. The law directly affects individuals who misuse tracking technology to harass, threaten, or harm others, particularly in cases involving domestic violence or property crimes. Introduced in the New Jersey Senate on January 9, 2024, it was referred to the Judiciary Committee for further review.
