Establishes offense of fostering stolen property.
This bill (A1269) creates a new misdemeanor offense for individuals who knowingly host, advertise, or assist in selling stolen property, including through online platforms. It directly affects people operating websites or services that facilitate the sale of stolen goods, requiring them to know or reasonably should know the property was stolen. The law presumes knowledge if someone takes substantial, unjustifiable risks that their actions would lead to selling stolen items. Violators face up to six months in jail, a $1,000 fine, or both. The bill defines "stolen property" using existing New Jersey law and covers all forms of sale, transfer, or online distribution.
