Expands cyber-harassment to include reckless online communications.

This bill (S 2156) expands New Jersey's cyber-harassment law to include online communications made with "reckless disregard" for another person's safety, in addition to intentional harassment. It directly affects internet users who post threatening, lewd, or obscene content online, minors convicted of cyber-harassment, and their parents or guardians. Key provisions make reckless cyber-harassment a disorderly persons offense (up to 6 months jail or $1,000 fine), while intentional acts remain fourth-degree crimes. For minors under 16, courts may require education programs on cyber-harassment, and parents can be fined up to $500 for failing to comply with these orders. The bill does not change penalties for intentional harassment but broadens the definition to cover reckless online behavior.
