Provides for mandatory terms of imprisonment for certain sexual assaults upon a minor; amends murder statute.

This bill (A1730) increases penalties for sexual assault involving minors and modifies murder sentencing. It mandates 30-35 years to life imprisonment for certain sexual assaults against children under 16, including cases where the victim is under 13, the perpetrator is a family member or authority figure, or the assault occurs during other crimes like robbery. The bill also changes the murder statute (N.J.S.2C:11-3) to require life without parole for murders of children under 16 committed during sexual assaults (previously age 14), and raises the minimum mandatory prison term before parole eligibility from 30 to 35 years for most murder convictions. These changes directly affect individuals convicted of sexual offenses against minors and those who murder children during such crimes.
