Establishes mandatory penalties for committing burglary and theft during a state of emergency.

This bill establishes mandatory six-month prison terms or six months of community service for individuals convicted of burglary, robbery, or theft during a declared state of emergency in New Jersey. These penalties apply in addition to standard criminal penalties under New Jersey law and cover emergencies like natural disasters or public safety threats declared by the Governor. The law specifies that prosecution must occur in the local municipal court, with the state required to prove the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. It directly affects anyone committing these specific property crimes during an active emergency period.
