Establishes offense of criminal mischief committed on historical sites.

This bill amends New Jersey's criminal mischief statute (N.J.S.2C:17-3) to specifically address damage to historical sites. It defines a "historic place or site" as a location approved for the New Jersey Register of Historic Places, identified in local master plans as historically significant, or officially recognized by state criteria. Knowingly damaging, interfering with, or tampering with such a site is now classified as a third-degree crime, punishable by up to 5 years in prison, a $15,000 fine, or both. The law directly affects individuals who intentionally harm protected historical properties, including buildings, monuments, or structures meeting the defined criteria.
