S 496 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Upgrades unlawful taking thefts in certain instances.

This bill increases penalties for stealing packages delivered to residential properties by cargo carriers in New Jersey. If the stolen items are worth $200 or less, it becomes a fourth-degree crime; amounts over $200 trigger a higher-level offense. It also requires offenders to pay restitution for stolen packages, which was previously optional for judges. The law directly affects individuals who take delivered packages from homes, targeting thefts of items like medication or documents.
