Amends felony murder, aggravated manslaughter, and aggravated assault statutes to include death or bodily injury occurring during commission of auto theft.

This bill would expand New Jersey's felony murder, aggravated manslaughter, and aggravated assault laws to include deaths or injuries occurring during the commission of auto theft. Currently, these laws apply to crimes like robbery or burglary, but this bill adds "theft of a motor vehicle" to the list of qualifying offenses. If someone causes death or serious injury while stealing a car, it would be treated as a more serious criminal offense under these statutes. The changes would make auto theft-related deaths and injuries subject to harsher penalties under these specific criminal laws.
