S 4332 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes penalties for harassment and assault of athletes under certain circumstances.

This bill creates new criminal penalties for harassment targeting athletes during sanctioned sports events. It makes it a fourth-degree crime to harass an athlete when the harassment relates to gambling outcomes (both legal and illegal), and a third-degree crime if the victim is a student athlete. Offenders convicted of these harassment offenses face a lifetime ban from all online and in-person sports betting, with the ban applying upon a second conviction or if the harassment was part of a related assault. The law directly affects athletes participating in interscholastic, collegiate, or professional sports events and individuals who harass them in connection with gambling.
