Changes monetary threshold for certain fourth degree theft crimes.

S 3449 lowers the monetary threshold for fourth degree theft in New Jersey from $200 to $100. This means thefts involving $100 to $500 will now be classified as fourth degree, while thefts under $100 remain disorderly persons offenses. Previously, thefts under $200 were disorderly persons offenses, but this change reclassifies thefts of $100-$199 as fourth degree. The bill directly affects individuals charged with theft by altering the severity of charges based on the amount stolen.
