Upgrades burglary of residence to crime of the second degree.

This bill changes New Jersey law to automatically classify burglary of a residence as a second-degree crime, rather than the current third-degree classification. Specifically, it upgrades burglary involving any dwelling or structure adapted for overnight accommodation (regardless of whether weapons were used or injury occurred) to second-degree burglary. As a result, offenders convicted of this upgraded crime must serve at least 85% of their prison sentence before becoming eligible for parole, per the No Early Release Act (NERA). This directly affects individuals convicted of residential burglaries, increasing their mandatory prison time compared to current third-degree burglary penalties.
