Creates offense of impersonating first responder; grades offense one degree higher than underlying offense.

This bill creates a new criminal offense for impersonating a first responder (such as police, firefighters, or EMTs) to commit another crime. It directly affects individuals who falsely claim to be first responders - like wearing a fake uniform or lying about their identity - to facilitate other illegal acts. The penalty for this offense is one degree higher than the underlying crime (e.g., a fourth-degree crime if the underlying act was a minor disorderly persons offense), with the most serious cases carrying first-degree penalties. The law aims to deter exploitation of emergency situations where public trust in first responders is critical.
