SJR 32 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Directs AG to investigate whether pedophile organizations use the internet to encourage sex offenders to violate State law.

SJR 32 directs New Jersey's Attorney General to investigate whether pedophile organizations use the internet to recruit members and encourage sex offenders to violate state laws protecting minors. The resolution specifically examines if these groups promote the legalization of adult-minor sexual relationships, which would undermine New Jersey's age-of-consent laws. The Attorney General must report findings to the Governor and Legislature within one year. This is a procedural resolution (not a law) with no direct impact on citizens, focusing solely on initiating an investigation into online activities of such organizations.
