Allows aggregation of value of stolen property across multiple criminal episodes or transactions within a two-year period.

S 3675 allows prosecutors to combine the value of stolen property from multiple theft incidents within a two-year period when those incidents are part of the same scheme or course of conduct. This means that if someone commits several thefts over time (within two years) that would individually be lower-level offenses, the total value could push the case to a higher criminal grade. The bill applies to various theft-related offenses including shoplifting, receiving stolen property, and motor vehicle theft, clarifying that multiple thefts can be aggregated if they involve the same person, are similar in nature, and occurred within a two-year window. This change affects how New Jersey prosecutes repeat theft offenses and could lead to more severe penalties for individuals committing multiple thefts over a short period.
