Makes desecration of military monument crime of the third degree.

This bill makes intentionally damaging or defacing a military monument a crime of the third degree, raising it from a disorderly persons offense. It specifically defines "military monument" as any structure honoring military personnel or commemorating battles, and "desecrate" as defacing, damaging, or polluting such monuments. The law directly affects individuals who intentionally harm these monuments, imposing stricter penalties than for other public property offenses. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
