Requires life imprisonment without parole for persons convicted of murder committed in course of commission of certain sex offenses regardless of victim's age.

This bill requires life imprisonment without parole for anyone convicted of murder committed while committing specific sex offenses (like rape or sexual assault under N.J.S.2C:14-2 or 2C:14-3), regardless of the victim's age. It directly affects defendants convicted of such murders by eliminating the prior requirement that the victim be under 18. The key provision amends New Jersey's murder statute to mandate life without parole for these cases, overriding existing sentencing options. This change applies to all victims of these sex offense-related murders, not just minors, and does not create new offenses - only modifies sentencing for existing murder charges meeting these criteria.
