Increases penalty for harboring or concealing certain sex offenders.

This bill increases penalties for knowingly harboring or concealing a sex offender who has not complied with New Jersey's registration requirements under Megan's Law. It requires a minimum prison term without parole eligibility for anyone who shelters such an offender, with parole ineligibility lasting three years for a third-degree offense (3-5 years prison) or one year for a fourth-degree offense (up to 18 months prison). The law specifically targets individuals who knowingly aid sex offenders avoiding registration, raising the offense level from a potential disorderly persons charge to a serious criminal penalty. This directly affects people who provide shelter or assistance to non-compliant sex offenders.
