Makes human trafficking-related crimes subject to No Early Release Act sentencing.

This bill (A5456) makes human trafficking crimes subject to New Jersey's No Early Release Act (NERA) sentencing rules. It directly affects individuals convicted of human trafficking (N.J.S.2C:13-8), assisting in trafficking (N.J.S.2C:13-9), and commercial sexual abuse of minors (N.J.S.2C:13-10). The key change requires offenders to serve 85% of their sentence before parole eligibility - increasing the minimum from 20 years to 24 years for first-degree trafficking - and adds mandatory parole supervision (5 years for first-degree offenses). These provisions apply to all convictions for these specific trafficking-related crimes under current law.
