Requires additional fines for certain crimes against minors to fund Amber Alert system.
This bill creates a new "Amber Alert Fund" in the New Jersey Department of Treasury. It requires a $400 fee on individuals convicted of specific crimes against minors (under age 18), such as certain sexual offenses or abuse, in addition to existing fines. The collected fees fund the Amber Alert system, with money distributed to the State Police's Missing Persons Unit for system improvements and programs to recover abducted children. The bill amends existing statutes to direct these fees into the new fund, ensuring dedicated funding for child safety initiatives.
