The bill would require the Governor to nominate an executive director of the SADC no later than 12 months after the effective date of the bill. The bill also provides that, days after the establishment of the State registry, and every days thereafter, the department would be required to: 1 review and compare the State registrants with the farmers who have registered with the USDA federal register; 2 notify any State registrant that is not registered with the federal USDA register of the benefits of being registered with both registers; and 3 encourage the State registrant to register with the federal USDA register.
Furthermore, the bill provides that, to the greatest extent possible, the department would ensure that the criteria for inclusion in the New Jersey Minority, Women, and Underserved Farmer Registry is the same as the criteria for inclusion in the federal USDA register so that any State registrant may be included in both registries. The bill also provides that, whenever the criteria for inclusion in the federal USDA register is updated to include any additional individuals or groups of farmers, the department shall update accordingly the criteria for inclusion in the State registry and coordinate outreach to the additional individuals or groups of farmers.
The United States Department of Agriculture Minority Farm Register was established to promote inclusion and diversity in the agricultural and horticultural sectors of the nation’s economy. The diversification of the types of people involved in farming in the State would strengthen the agricultural and horticultural sectors of the New Jersey economy and would support the goals and efforts of the Vision plan prepared by the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station at Rutgers, the State University.
The Vision plan prepared by the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station Rutgers Vision is a system of responsive, innovative, and inclusive programs, farms, stations, and centers that is prioritizing investments in infrastructure, information technology, and equipment designed to enable the expansion and development of cutting-edge programs. The New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station’s programs, farms, stations, and centers are designed to be national models of responsive, innovative, and inclusive research, education, and outreach that can address grand challenges of the State and broader society, as well as being known for the sustainable management of the land and natural resources these efforts encompass.
A primary focus of the Rutgers Vision is to evaluate as assets the inclusion of qualified people with the needed skills to deliver new and expanded programs and foster diversity in developing and strengthening the agricultural and horticultural sectors in the State. Taxpayers may indicate on their tax returns to have a portion of their tax refunds deposited into the “Retired Racehorse Fund. The purpose of the fund is to assist the New Jersey Racing Commission in caring for retired horses and improving the health and safety of retired racehorses.
The funds in the “Retired Racehorse Fund” will be equally distributed as grants to standardbred and thoroughbred non-profit organizations. Introduced A Exempts certain motor vehicles that are owned by certain nutrition programs and certain nonprofit organizations that offer social services from motor vehicle registration fees. This bill exempts, from motor vehicle registration fees, motor vehicles not used for pleasure or for hire that are owned by any local nutrition program for seniors that is a Meals on Wheels America member.
Meals on Wheels America focuses on caring for individuals whose diminished mobility makes it difficult to shop for food, prepare meals, or socialize with others. Through member programs in communities throughout New Jersey, Meals on Wheels America provides seniors with nutritious meals and companionship and provides a watchful eye on the health and safety of New Jersey seniors.
While adequate nutrition is necessary for health, functionality, and the ability to remain independent, the work of Meals on Wheels America is also important to many New Jersey seniors who know that a meal is just as much about the company across the table as it is about the food on the plate.
This bill makes it less costly for local Meals on Wheels America programs to fulfill their important mission by exempting program vehicles from motor vehicle registration fees. Crossed Over A Concerns professional licensing and application fees for spouse or dependent of active duty member of United States Armed Forces.
This bill provides that no professional or occupational board shall charge a license application fee to an applicant who is the spouse or dependent of an active-duty service member.
The bill also removes the provision requiring the payment of a fee for the issuance of a temporary courtesy license. In addition, the bill provides that a professional or occupational licensing board shall include on any application for professional or occupational licensure a box for the applicant to indicate the applicant’s status as the spouse or dependent of an active duty member of the United States Armed Forces.
Crossed Over A Requires periodic increases in personal needs allowance and prepaid burial allowance for residents of New Jersey veterans’ memorial homes. The bill requires the State Treasurer to adjust the allowances every four years based on the Consumer Price Index. The bill addresses this matter in two ways. First, it increases the personal needs allowance and prepaid burial allowance amounts immediately to the amounts that would be in place if inflation adjustments had been made every four years since those rates took effect.
Second, it provides for inflation adjustments to continue to occur every four years after the bill becomes law. This is to ensure that the veterans who reside in the State’s veterans memorial homes will not see their personal needs allowances eroded by inflation for many years before an adjustment is made, and that the limit on prepaid burial fund allowances accounts for likely increases in the cost of funerals. Introduced S Authorizes special occasion events at certain commercial farms on preserved farmland, under certain conditions.
The bill would establish various restrictions on the special occasion events. For example, under section 2 of the bill, a special occasion event: 1 may not interfere with the use of the preserved farmland for agricultural or horticultural production; 2 may not cause a significant and direct negative impact to any surrounding properties; 3 must be designed to protect the agricultural resources of the land and ensure that the land can be readily returned to productive agricultural or horticultural use after the event; 4 may not violate any applicable State and local laws, regulations, resolutions, and ordinances including those concerning alcohol, food safety, litter, noise, solid waste, traffic, and the protection of public health and safety; and 5 may not involve the construction of any new structures or water or sewer utilities on the preserved farmland.
The bill would require the owner or operator of the commercial farm to apply to the grantee of the farm, i. In cases where the grantee is also the owner of the preserved farmland, the owner would apply to the State Agriculture Development Committee SADC for approval. The bill directs grantees to develop an application process for this purpose.
Furthermore, the bill imposes certain minimum requirements on this application. For example, it requires the application to allow the grantee or the SADC as applicable, to determine the value of agricultural goods produced by the farm, the number of special occasion events already held on the farm that year, and the area of the preserved farmland to be used for the special occasion event.
The bill would authorize a grantee or the SADC, as applicable, upon the effective date of the bill, and prior to the adoption by the SADC of rules and regulations pursuant to section 6 of the bill, to accept applications under the bill and approve applications for special occasion events that comply with the provisions of the bill.
Upon the adoption of rules and regulations by the SADC under the bill, applications and approvals would also be required to comply with those rules and regulations. The bill would also allow the SADC and the appropriate grantee to inspect a commercial farm that has received approval for a special occasion event, without prior notice, in order to verify that it is in compliance with the bill’s provisions. In addition, the bill would allow the SADC or the grantee, upon reasonable cause, to order an audit of a farm to verify that it is in compliance with the bill’s provisions.
In addition, an owner or operator who repeatedly violates the bill’s provisions would be prohibited from holding special occasion events on the preserved farm for a period of time that increases along with the number of violations. Finally, the bill would require the SADC to submit an annual report to the Governor and the Legislature that includes the number of special occasion events held that year, the number of audits conducted, the amount of penalties collected, and a description of any problems associated with the holding of special occasion events reported by municipalities, county agriculture development boards, and nonprofit organizations that are grantees.
The bill would require the SADC to adopt rules and regulations to implement the provisions of the bill. It is to be unlawful for a person to perform an abortion or attempt to do so, unless the person is a physician who has first made a determination of the probable post-fertilization age of the unborn child or has reasonably relied upon this determination made by another physician.
In making the determination, a physician is to make inquiries of the pregnant woman and perform any medical examinations or tests necessary to accurately determine post-fertilization age. The bill provides an exception to the above provisions if: 1 the abortion is necessary to save the life of a pregnant women whose life is endangered by a physical disorder, illness, or injury, including a life-endangering physical condition caused by, or arising from, the pregnancy itself; 2 the pregnancy is the result of rape, if reported to a law enforcement agency prior to the abortion; or 3 the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest against a minor, if reported to a law enforcement agency or to the Division of Child Protection and Permanency DCPP in the Department of Children and Families prior to the abortion.
In terminating or attempting to terminate a pregnancy under these circumstances, the physician may do so only in a manner which, in reasonable medical judgment, provides the best opportunity for the unborn child to survive, unless the termination of the pregnancy in that manner would pose a greater risk of death of the pregnant woman or substantial and irreversible physical impairment of a major bodily function. The bill also: outlines the procedures that a physician who performs or attempts an abortion must follow, consistent with the federal “Born Alive Infant Protection Act”, if an exception provided in the bill exists and the pain-capable unborn child survives the abortion or attempted abortion; outlines the documentation from a law enforcement agency, Department of Defense victim assistance personnel, or DCCP, that a physician is required to file proving a pregnant woman or minor seeking an abortion has been raped or is a victim of incest; requires the woman seeking the abortion, the physician performing or attempting to perform the abortion, and a witness to sign an informed consent authorization form; and requires any physician who performs or attempts an abortion pursuant to the bill to annually submit a summary of all such abortions to the National Center for Health Statistics as provided by the conditions outlined in the bill.
A woman or the parent of a minor upon whom an abortion is performed in violation of the provisions of the the bill may, in a civil action against any person who committed the violation, obtain appropriate relief the conditions delineated in the bill.
The bill, which is modeled on H. Surgeons in the field of maternal and fetal medicine have found it necessary to sedate an unborn child to prevent the unborn child from engaging in vigorous movement in reaction to invasive surgery. It is the purpose of this Legislature to assert a compelling governmental interest in protecting the lives of unborn children from the stage at which substantial medical evidence indicates they are capable of feeling pain.
A person whose religious exercise has been burdened in violation of the bill could assert that violation as a claim or defense in a judicial proceeding and obtain appropriate relief. The prevailing plaintiff in an action or proceeding to enforce a provision of the bill would be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees and costs to be paid by the government entity. The “compelling interest” test in the bill is a standard set forth in a number of United States Supreme Court decisions, including Wisconsin v.
Yoder, U. Verner, U. Smith, U. This statute provides that, in cases where the free exercise of religion is affected, laws of general applicability must be narrowly tailored to meet a compelling government interest.
The Supreme Court, in City of Boerne v. Flores, U. In response, a number of states enacted their own state Religious Freedom Restoration Acts. To date, 21 states have enacted such statutes.
This bill is modeled on the Florida version, Fla. Introduced A Upgrades penalties for theft of certain law enforcement and emergency vehicles. This bill upgrades the crime of theft of a law enforcement or emergency vehicle, if the vehicle is owned by the federal government, the State, a public institution of higher education, or a local unit, from a crime of the third degree to a crime of the second degree. Under NERA, persons convicted of certain enumerated crimes of the first or second degree are required to serve a minimum term of at least 85 percent of the sentence imposed.
Theft of a law enforcement or emergency vehicle can pose serious risks to public safety and deprives police, emergency personnel, or other first responders of valuable public resources that are necessary to protect the public and respond to emergencies.
In Committee A Revises and clarifies law concerning permissible motor vehicle window tint. This bill revises and clarifies the laws concerning motor vehicle window tinting. Multiple statutes are cited as the basis for the State’s current restrictions on post-production window tinting and referenced in case law regarding tickets issued by law enforcement. This bill amends current law to establish R.
The bill also amends R. Specifically, the bill prohibits a person from driving a vehicle with any tinted material or film on the windshield or front side windows unless the material or film is: 1 applied by the vehicle manufacturer prior to its sale and the tinted material and film permits a light transmittance of less than 70 percent, except as applied to the top six inches of the windshield or above the AS-1 marking on the windshield, 2 a product or material that increases light reflectance or reduces light transmittance, as authorized by the Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission MVC pursuant to P.
This violation is considered a “primary offense” whereby law enforcement officers are authorized to stop and ticket motorists whenever they are observed driving a vehicle with illegally tinted windows.
Currently, a person who installs tinting material is to include a label on each windshield and window. This bill requires the label to include the installer’s name and location. Under P. This card is to be exhibited to a law enforcement officer upon request and to a designated motor vehicle examiner whenever the vehicle is inspected.
This bill amends current law to provide that, in this case, a judge cannot impose court costs. The bill authorizes the chief administrator to adopt rules and regulations to measure and test permissible motor vehicle window tint and light transmittance requirements.
Lastly, the bill directs the Director of the Division of Consumer Affairs in the Department of Law and Public Safety to develop and undertake a public information program, in consultation with the Division of State Police, to educate drivers of the restrictions on and penalties for installing window tinting materials in violation of State law. It is the sponsor’s intent to clarify the law concerning window tinting to improve its interpretation and enforcement, and to enhance police officer and public safety, which is beneficial to the general public, law enforcement, and the courts in this State.
In Committee A Repeals P. This bill would repeal P. The law expresses the policy that existing and future laws are to be interpreted in a manner that best preserves “the freedom of reproductive choice,” which means, among other things, virtually unfettered access to abortion until the moment of birth. In the sponsor’s view, P. The law additionally permits the Department of Banking and Insurance, following completion of a study, to require health benefits plans to require coverage for abortion services.
However, the sponsor notes that the use of “permissive” rather than mandatory language is belied by other provisions in the law that declare it to be State policy to “advance comprehensive insurance coverage for reproductive care, including primary reproductive health care services, services to terminate a pregnancy, long-acting contraceptives, and long-term supplies of hormonal contraceptives, that enabled the citizens of New Jersey to fully exercise their freedom of reproductive choice This excludes not only the vast majority of nonprofits, but notably, closely-held for-profit corporations, such as a retail store chain that won a United States Supreme Court ruling, on religious freedom grounds, against a federal mandate that the chain provide workers with insurance coverage for abortifacients, which are abortion-inducing drugs.
Additionally, the sponsor notes that the law is so vague in many respects that it is unclear what effect its provisions may have. For instance, the State has had, for decades, “conscience clause” laws allowing medical professionals and others to decline to participate in abortion procedures without consequence. The sponsor notes that there are unresolved questions about the effects of this vague provision, such as whether it allows lawsuits under the “New Jersey Civil Rights Act” against persons who peacefully exercise their First Amendment right to oppose abortion or who invoke the “conscience clause” laws, or against public officials who propose or enact laws or policies that a litigant argues do not conform with the provisions and the express or implied purposes of P.
In the sponsor’s view, it is entirely unclear what a court may find to be an “implied purpose” of the law. Finally, the sponsor notes that the text of the law as proposed was made available for review by the Senate Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee and the Assembly Appropriations Committee, and those who wished to provide testimony before the committees, only minutes before the committees began to take testimony on the bill that became P.
The text of the bill was only available for three full days – a Friday and the weekend – before the Legislature held final votes on the bill.
It is the sponsor’s strong belief that the Legislature should be more respectful to the people of the State by taking an appropriate amount of time to review a very significant and controversial proposal, and allowing the public to do the same and comment with more preparation, before enacting the proposal into law. The repeal of P. In Committee A Creates penalties for using mobile applications to aid in commission of crime. This bill makes it a crime to knowingly use a mobile application, commonly known as an “app,” to facilitate the commission of a criminal offense.
Under the provisions of the bill, the use of a mobile application to facilitate criminal activity is a separate crime, which is to be graded one level higher than the underlying offense. The bill specifies that a conviction under its provisions cannot be merged with the conviction for the underlying offense. For purposes of the bill, a “mobile application” is defined as a program downloaded onto and used in conjunction with a mobile electronic communication device, and available through multiple software platforms.
Following the recent execution of two officers of the New York Police Department NYPD , law enforcement agencies around the country have called into question the use of the “Waze” app. Waze is an interactive driving and navigation tool that allows its users to connect and share information in real time concerning the traffic and safety conditions of public roadways. A component of the app is the ability to pinpoint the location of law enforcement personnel, whose location is then available to all other users.
While it is not known if Waze was actually used to track the officers in carrying out the crime, it is certainly possible for a criminal to misuse the app in this way. Accordingly, this bill criminalizes the knowing use of any app, including Waze, to facilitate the commission of a crime.
In Committee A “Ryan’s Law”; requires propeller guards on instructional vessels. This bill, to be known and cited as “Ryan’s Law,” requires propeller guards to be installed on instructional vessels within one year after the bill’s enactment. The bill defines an instructional vessel to mean “a vessel utilized to teach minors about marine navigation and safety in a formal setting, such as an instructional course or program conducted by a marina, yacht club, or a boating organization or school.
Motorized boats have propellers that can be dangerous to a person who comes into close proximity with them. Children, small boat sailors, and swimmers are especially susceptible to propeller risks and injuries. Since vessels with propellers are often used for instructional purposes, inexperienced individuals are also susceptible to these injuries because they are still learning how to safely operate boating equipment while navigating waterways.
The installation of propeller guards on boats used for instructional purposes enhances the safety of individuals and better protects them against accidental injury or fatal boating accidents.
In the waters off of Long Island in August , a year old student taking a sailing lesson was struck by a boat propeller and died from his injuries. In response to this tragic incident, legislation was introduced in Suffolk County, New York, to require propeller guards be installed on all instructional vessels operating in Suffolk County waterways. In Committee A Increases penalty for hindering the apprehension or prosecution of offender.
This bill increases the current penalty imposed for interfering with the apprehension, prosecution, or conviction of a person following the commission of an offense. Specifically, this bill provides that a person who knowingly assists or conceals an offender following the commission of a crime or offense is to receive the same punishment imposed for the most serious offense committed by that principal offender.
Currently, hindering the detention, apprehension, investigation, prosecution, conviction or punishment of another under subsection a.
The penalty is downgraded to a fourth degree crime if the offender who receives assistance is a spouse, parent or child. Hindering is a crime of the fourth degree if the underlying conduct would constitute a crime of the third degree. A person who suppresses, conceals or destroys evidence, or gives false information in an investigation, with the knowledge that another person has been or is liable to be charged with leaving the scene of a fatal motor vehicle accident is subject to a mandatory one year term of imprisonment.
Otherwise a violation of subsection a. This bill eliminates this gradation of penalties, and establishes that a person who assists or conceals an offender is subject to the same penalty as that offender who carried out the criminal act or offense. The bill applies only to vehicles clearly and conspicuously marked as those used for law enforcement purposes.
The window tinting requirement would apply to law enforcement vehicles purchased on or after the first day of the fourth month next following the date of the bill’s enactment. In Committee A Requires person convicted, or fleeing charge, of sex offense in foreign country to register under Megan’s Law; requires law enforcement to inquire about immigration status of sex offenders and cooperate with federal immigration authorities. This bill requires persons who have been convicted, or fled a charge, of a sex offense in a foreign country to register as a sex offender under Megan’s Law under certain circumstances.
In addition, contrary to a recent directive issued by the New Jersey Attorney General, the bill requires law enforcement agencies to inquire about the immigration status of a convicted sex offender and notify and cooperate with federal immigration authorities when the law enforcement agency is unable to confirm that the sex offender’s presence in the United States is authorized under federal law.
Under current State law, a person who is convicted, adjudicated delinquent, or acquitted by reason of insanity under the laws of the United States, this State, or another state of an offense similar to those classified as sex offenses under current law is required to register as a sex offender. This bill expands the requirement to register in this State as a sex offender to also include persons who were convicted, adjudicated delinquent; or acquitted by reason of insanity under the laws of any foreign government of an offense similar to those classified as sex offenses under current law, and persons who were charged with such offenses by a foreign government, but fled the jurisdiction prior to the adjudication of those charges.
The Attorney General Directive No. The directive also prohibits, with certain limited exceptions, a State, county, or municipal law enforcement agency from inquiring about the immigration status of any individual. Furthermore, the directive does not mandate that law enforcement officials provide assistance in any particular circumstance, even when, under the limited exceptions of the directive, they are permitted to do so. Thus, when an offender who is not authorized to be in the United States has been convicted of a Megan’s Law offense, under the directive, local law enforcement is under no obligation to cooperate with federal authorities that may be seeking to enforce federal immigration laws with respect to that offender.
In contrast to the directive, the bill requires every county prosecutor to notify the appropriate law enforcement agency when a person has been convicted, adjudicated delinquent, or acquitted by reason of insanity for the commission of a sex offense, as defined under current law. Upon notification, the law enforcement agency is required to inquire about the immigration status of the person who has been convicted. The bill provides that if, based upon the inquiry required by the bill, a law enforcement agency is unable to confirm that the person’s presence in the United States is authorized under federal law, the law enforcement agency is to provide notification to a federal immigration authority.
Under the bill, the law enforcement agency also is to cooperate with any immigration enforcement initiated by the federal immigration authority, which includes but is not limited to: 1 participating in civil immigration enforcement operations with respect to the sex offender; 2 providing any non-public personally identifying information regarding the sex offender; 3 providing access to any State, county, or local law enforcement equipment, office space, database, or property not available to the general public; 4 providing access to a detained sex offender for an interview; 5 providing notice of a detained sex offender’s upcoming release from custody; and 6 continuing the detention of a sex offender past the time the sex offender would otherwise be eligible for release from custody when presented with a civil immigration detainer request.
Finally, the bill requires the cooperation of a New Jersey law enforcement agency with any immigration enforcement upon an inquiry by a federal immigration authority concerning a registered sex offender convicted of a sex offense by a foreign government, or who was charged with a sex offense by a foreign government and absconded from that jurisdiction prior to the charge being adjudicated or resolved, and if the law enforcement agency is unable to confirm that the sex offender’s presence in the United States is authorized under federal law.
This cooperation is to include, but not be limited to: 1 participating in civil immigration enforcement operations; 2 providing any non-public personally identifying information regarding an individual; 3 providing access to any State, county, or local law enforcement equipment, office space, database, or property not available to the general public; 4 providing access to a detained individual for an interview; 5 providing notice of a detained individual’s upcoming release from custody; and 6 continuing the detention of an individual past the time the individual would otherwise be eligible for release from custody based solely on a civil immigration detainer request.
The bill further requires a law enforcement agency that registers a sex offender and has knowledge that the sex offender was 1 convicted by a foreign government, or 2 charged with a sex offense by a foreign government and absconded prior to the charges being adjudicated or resolved, to provide notification to a federal immigration authority if the agency is unable to confirm that the sex offender’s presence in the United States is authorized under federal law.
It is the sponsor’s firmly held belief that because sex offenders pose a grave danger to public safety, especially for women and children, law enforcement officials should be required to cooperate with immigration enforcement actions initiated by a federal immigration authority, in order to ensure that dangerous predators are not permitted to find safe harbor in New Jersey.
In Committee A Prohibits State pension fund investment in certain companies with ties to Russian Federation and prohibits State contracts if invested in Russian Federation. This bill prohibits the investment of State pension or annuity funds in companies with an equity tie to the government of the Russian Federation or its instrumentalities and is engaged in business operations with entities in the oil, defense, or technology sectors of the Russian Federation. The bill also prohibits a person or entity that engages in investment activity in the Russian Federation from obtaining a contract from a State entity.
This bill is in response to the Russian Federation’s recent invasion of Ukraine, which is a flagrant violation of international law and is contrary to the values of the people of the great State of New Jersey. Under international law, Ukraine has a right to territorial integrity and political independence, which rights have clearly been violated by the Russian Federation in its violent and unprovoked invasion.
It is critical for the State of New Jersey to join efforts to impose financial penalties on the Russian Federation in order to deter current and possible future aggression against Ukraine. In Committee A Establishes public assembly safety public awareness campaign. This bill requires the Attorney General to establish a public awareness campaign to promote public awareness of safely engaging in demonstrations, protests, and other forms of public assembly in order to reduce the risk of harm to those assembled and other persons in the community.
Under the bill, the campaign would be required to include printed educational materials and public service announcements: 1 concerning the process for obtaining permits for public assemblies, in order for law enforcement agencies to work with members of the public to ensure the safety of everyone involved; 2 concerning information about the dangers of obstruction of traffic and impeding the ability of first responders to respond to emergencies, at the public assembly and elsewhere in the community; and 3 concerning the current provisions of law related to rioting, failure to disperse, disorderly conduct, and obstructing highways and other public passages.
The bill requires the Attorney General to distribute the materials to municipalities for distribution to the public, through entities, including, but not limited to, police departments, libraries, community centers, and other community-based organizations.
Additionally, the bill requires the Attorney General to make the materials available on the website of the Department of Law and Public Safety, and the individual websites or pages of any of its divisions, including, but not limited to the website of the State Police. The bill further requires the Attorney General to urge county sheriffs, county prosecutors, and the chiefs of police of county and municipal police departments to make the materials available on their respective websites or to link to a State website containing the materials.
In Committee A Authorizes community service as sentence for carjacking; increases penalties for motor vehicle theft. This bill permits an additional penalty to be imposed upon a defendant who commits the crime of carjacking. Specifically, a defendant may be sentenced by the court community service for up to 90 days in addition to the individual’s period of incarceration. Additionally, this bill increases the penalties for the theft or unlawful taking of a motor vehicle. The bill also directs the court to consider the impact on public safety of the theft or taking when imposing the license suspension, revocation, or postponement.
Additionally, the bill increases the periods for which the court, in its discretion, may suspend, revoke, or postpone driving privileges of those less than 17 years of age at the time of the imposition of sentence as follows: not to exceed two years for a first offense, increased from one year, and not to exceed three years for a second offense, increased from two years. This bill makes no changes to the maximum suspension, revocation, or postponement period for third time offenders.
Current law also provides for additional penalties for persons convicted of an offense involving the theft or unlawful taking of a motor vehicle. Pursuant to N. Additionally, pursuant to N. Finally, pursuant to N. This legislation is in response to the increase in carjackings and motor vehicle theft across cities in the northeast, including New York and Philadelphia.
In New York City, motor vehicle theft increased In , New York City reported carjackings, representing a In Philadelphia, carjackings occurred in , carjackings occurred in , and as of February 2nd, , the city has already reported carjackings. These reported carjackings are double the year-to-date total from , and seven times the pace reported at the beginning of In Committee A Increases protections for domestic violence victims as part of driver’s license application or renewal.
This bill requires the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission MVC to offer a person an opportunity to update her or his voter registration information on the commission’s electronic signature pad system, and provides increased protections for domestic violence victims.
Under current law, each applicant for a driver’s license is offered by the MVC an opportunity to simultaneously register to vote. The bill provides that the MVC would be required to include on the electronic signature pad system a notification to any applicant who is a victim of domestic violence or stalking, and is authorized by law to withhold disclosure of her or his street address when registering to vote, that the applicant may register to vote or update voter registration information without disclosing a street address.
The MVC would also be required to direct the applicants to the appropriate agency in order to register or update the information. This bill would ensure that the MVC’s automated system provides greater protection for victims of domestic violence and stalking by notifying them that they may register to vote or update their voter registration information without disclosing their street address, as recommended by the Governor in In Committee A Clarifies use of motor vehicle headlights to warn oncoming traffic of certain road conditions is permissible.
This bill clarifies that it is permissible for the operator of a motor vehicle to flash his or her headlights in the direction of oncoming traffic to warn the operator of another motor vehicle of a traffic accident, a road hazard, or the presence of law enforcement officers enforcing the speed limit.
In Committee A Requires interior light of motor vehicle be turned on when stopped by law enforcement under certain circumstances. This bill requires a driver of a motor vehicle to turn on the vehicle’s interior light when stopped by a law enforcement officer at certain times, including nighttime or during inclement weather, without being requested to do so by the officer.
The bill also requires a driver to turn on the interior light at a law enforcement officer’s request. Under current law, a law enforcement officer may request a driver to turn on the interior light of a vehicle: 1 from a half-hour after sunset to a half-hour before sunrise; 2 whenever precipitation or moisture requires the use of windshield wipers; and 3 when there is insufficient light to view persons and vehicles on the highway at a distance of feet ahead.
In addition, the bill requires the Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission to utilize the Internet and any other available means to promote public awareness that drivers are required to activate the interior light when stopped by a law enforcement officer.
The bill’s effective date is the first day of the fourth month following the date of enactment in order to give drivers time to learn about the change in the law. In Committee A Requires health care facilities engaged in telemedicine and teleheath to provide language interpretation services under certain circumstances.
This bill requires health care facilities engaged in telemedicine and telehealth to provide language interpretation services under certain circumstances. Under the bill, if a health care facility is required by federal or State law to provide language interpretation services to patients who are not proficient in the English language or patients who are deaf or hard of hearing, the health care facility is to provide the required language interpretation services regardless of whether the health care facility is engaged in telemedicine, telehealth, or in person treatment.
In Committee A Requires county and municipal welfare agencies to determine if person is sex offender within certain time after initial placement in emergency shelter and to provide notification of placement to law enforcement. This bill requires county and municipal welfare agencies to determine whether a person’s sex offender registration information is published on the New Jersey State Police sex offender Internet registry within three business days of the person’s initial placement in an emergency shelter.
This information is to be used for the exclusive purpose of the initial placement of persons in emergency shelters. If an agency determines that a person who has been placed in an emergency shelter is a sex offender, that agency is required to provide written notification of the placement of the sex offender to the chief law enforcement officer in the municipality where the shelter is located, or if the municipality does not have a local police force, the Superintendent of State Police.
Notwithstanding this requirement, a sex offender still has the primary responsibility to notify the appropriate law enforcement agency upon a change of address, as required by current law.
Finally, the bill requires that, upon the request of any law enforcement agency, the address of a sex offender who is placed in an emergency shelter be provided to State and local law enforcement officials who are attempting to locate a registered sex offender who no longer resides at the last known address provided to law enforcement officials.
It is the sponsor’s intent to ensure that emergency shelters are safe for families by minimizing the risk of a sex offender being placed in an emergency shelter that also houses families with children.
In Committee A Makes pilot program for special occasion events at wineries on preserved farmland permanent program. This bill amends current law to make permanent the pilot program allowing special occasion events to be conducted at wineries on preserved farmland.
The bill also revises the reporting requirement under the law to require on-going biennial reports to the Governor and the Legislature. The pilot program was created by P. The original enactment did not contain reporting requirements. The law extending the pilot program was effective on May 30, and was made retroactive to March 1, to cover the gap period. The enactment also required: 1 County agricultural development boards CADB to submit annual reports which include findings that summarize the activities of wineries on preserved farmland in the county of the board’s jurisdiction and make recommendations for the pilot program; and 2 The State Agricultural Development Committee SADC to submit interim and final reports that review the implementation and operation of the pilot program, summarize the findings and recommendations of the annual reports prepared by the CADBs, and make recommendations to the Governor and Legislature.
The bill continues the program beyond its May 30, expiration and makes the program permanent thereafter. The bill also will be retroactive to May 30, In Committee A Upgrades certain penalties for resisting arrest; prohibits merger of resisting arrest with other criminal convictions. This bill upgrades the penalties for resisting arrest and prohibits the merger of a conviction of resisting arrest with any other criminal conviction.
Under current law, a person resists arrest by purposely preventing or attempting to prevent a law enforcement officer from effecting an arrest. Resisting arrest is a disorderly person’s offense, unless the person resists by way of flight, in which case it is a fourth degree crime, or threatens to use physical force or violence against the law enforcement officer or another, or uses any other means to create a substantial risk of causing physical injury to the public servant or another, in which case it is a third degree crime.
This bill upgrades resisting arrest from a disorderly person’s offense to a fourth degree crime. Additionally, the bill provides that if a person resists arrest and actually uses physical force or violence, or uses any other means to create a substantial risk of physical injury, the person is guilty of a second degree crime, rather than a third degree crime. Finally, the bill prohibits merging a conviction of resisting arrest with any other criminal conviction, and requires the sentencing court to impose a separate sentence upon each violation.
In Committee A Establishes rebuttable presumption that person charged with certain sex crimes be detained prior to trial. This bill establishes a rebuttable presumption that a person charged with certain sex offenses and crimes against children is to be detained prior to trial.
Currently, defendants who commit any Megan’s Law sex offense enumerated under paragraph 2 of subsection b. This presumption may be rebutted by the defendant upon a showing of the preponderance of the evidence in support of the defendant. If the defendant is unable to rebut the presumption, the court may order pretrial detention, but if rebutted, the prosecutor would still have the opportunity to establish grounds for pretrial detention. This rebuttable presumption applies under current law when a prosecutor makes a motion for the pretrial detention of a defendant charged with murder or any crime for which the defendant would be subject to an ordinary or extended term of life imprisonment.
In Committee A Authorizes issuance of duplicate firearms purchaser identification cards for change of address with certain proof. This bill provides that prior to the issuance of a duplicate firearms purchaser identification card for the purposes of a change of address a criminal history records check and a mental health records check need not be performed. Under current regulation, N. The regulation requires that prior to the issuance of the duplicate, the person must consent to a mental health records check and the chief of police in the municipality where the person resides, or the Superintendent of State Police, as the case may be, must conduct a criminal history records check.
Essentially, the card holder must repeat the same background check process required for the original issuance of the identification card. By contrast, a card holder who never requires a duplicate card must only undergo the background check one time.
Under the bill, the issuance of a duplicate identification card, due to a change of residence, will not first require that a criminal history records check or mental health records check be performed. However, the applicant must certify that he is not subject to any of the disabilities set forth in chapter 58 of Title 2C of the New Jersey Statutes which would render him ineligible to possess a firearms purchaser identification card.
The bill also requires that an applicant for a duplicate card use his driver’s license or non-driver identification card as proof of the change of address. In Committee A Establishes identity check for suspects taken into custody on warrants. This bill provides that within 12 hours of arrest or detainment on a warrant, an identity check is required to be conducted on a person held in custody in a State correctional facility, county correctional facility, or municipal jail to ensure that the identity of the person being held matches the identity of the person for whom the warrant was issued.
Under the bill, an identity check is required to include, but is not limited to: 1 a review of the person’s identifying documentation including a motor vehicle identification card, a passport, a credit card, a debit card, a military identification card, a social security card, or any other documentation issued by a federal, State, or local government entity, or a private entity which may be used to identify the person; 2 a review of any photograph of the person for whom the warrant was issued, along with a comparison to the physical appearance of the person taken into custody and any photographs accompanying the person’s identifying documentation; and 3 issuance of a statement that the reviews required pursuant to paragraphs 1 and 2 of this subsection have been performed and, to the greatest extent practicable, the identity of the person in custody has been determined to match the person for whom the warrant was issued.
In October , an innocent Jackson Township resident was jailed as a result of mistaken identity. In that case, the resident had a similar name to a defendant named in a warrant, and the error and the resident’s innocence were not confirmed by authorities for three days. It is the sponsor’s intent that the provisions of the bill would assist authorities in avoiding this type of error in the future. In Committee A Allows license plate frame to obscure certain parts of permanent or temporary license plate under certain conditions.
This bill provides that a person may operate a motor vehicle with a license plate frame or identification marker holder that conceals or obscures part of any marking imprinted upon the plate or any insert or temporary registration plate issued for the vehicle so long as the marking or insert can still reasonably be identified or discerned. This bill makes it an unlawful practice and a violation of the consumer fraud act to sell or offer for sale voice recognition features in a connected television without clearly and conspicuously notifying the user, or a person designated by the user, and obtaining consent prior to or at the time of installation or initial setup of the connected television and its voice recognition features.
The bill defines a connected television as a video device designed for home use to receive television signals and reproduce them on an integrated, physical screen display that exceeds 12 inches, and excludes any personal computer, portable device, or a separate device that connects physically or wirelessly to a television, such as a set-top box, video game console, or digital video recorder.
Voice commands that are not recorded or transmitted beyond the connected television would not be subject to the bill’s provisions. This bill also makes it an unlawful practice for a manufacturer of connected televisions, or a third party that contracts with a manufacturer, to provide voice recognition features and use or sell any spoken word or other sound recorded by the connected television or its voice recognition features for any advertising purpose, including for the purpose of improving the function, operation, or features of the connected television.
The bill limits the liability of a manufacturer to functionality provided at the time of the original sale of a connected television and specifically excludes liability for functionality provided by applications downloaded and installed by a user. The bill further requires a manufacturer to establish privacy controls to limit risks associated with the collection and protection of confidential personal information.
Under the bill, a “voice recognition feature” is defined to mean the function of a connected television that allows the collection, recording, storage, analysis, transmission, interpretation, or other use of spoken words or other sounds, and excludes voice commands that are not recorded or transmitted beyond the connected television. Additionally, violations can result in cease and desist orders issued by the Attorney General, the assessment of punitive damages, and the awarding of treble damages and costs to the injured party.
It is the sponsor’s intent to protect consumers’ personal privacy, as underscored by the settlement between VIZIO, Inc. The court determined that VIZIO participated in deceptive, unfair, and unconscionable practices, in violation of federal law and the State’s consumer fraud act, by collecting and sharing consumers’ viewing data and misleading consumers about its “Smart Interactivity” feature.
The complaint alleged that VIZIO smart TVs captured second-by-second information about video displayed on the smart TV, and then VIZIO facilitated appending specific demographic information to the viewing data, such as sex, age, income, marital status, household size, education level, home ownership, and household value. According to the complaint, VIZIO subsequently sold this information to third parties who used it for various purposes, including targeting advertising to consumers across devices.
VIZIO’s “Smart Interactivity” was marketed as enabling “program offers and suggestions” but failed to inform consumers that the settings also enabled the collection of consumers’ viewing data.
Under the court’s order, VIZIO is to prominently disclose and obtain affirmative express consent for its data collection and sharing practices. Capitol attack.
