Makes human trafficking-related crimes subject to No Early Release Act sentencing.
S 2869 amends New Jersey law to require that certain human trafficking convictions (specifically those involving sexual exploitation or child victims) be sentenced under the No Early Release Act. This means offenders must serve 85% of their sentence before becoming eligible for parole, rather than standard parole eligibility rules. The bill also mandates restitution to victims based on the value of their labor and directs fines to the Human Trafficking Survivor's Assistance Fund. It directly affects individuals convicted of severe human trafficking crimes under the amended sections of N.J.S. 2C:13-8. The legislation aims to increase accountability for traffickers while providing financial support to victims.
