Establishes threats of violence against prosecutors, law enforcement officers and their family members as second degree crime, subject to No Early Release Act sentencing.

This bill elevates threats of violence against prosecutors, law enforcement officers, or their family members to a second-degree crime (previously third-degree). It directly affects anyone making such threats, including threats against spouses, parents, children, or relatives living with the officer or prosecutor. The key provision requires offenders to serve 85% of their sentence before becoming eligible for parole under New Jersey’s No Early Release Act. This means, for example, a 10-year sentence would require at least 8.5 years served before parole consideration. The bill does not change sentencing ranges but mandates stricter parole eligibility for these specific threats.
