S 592 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes third degree crime of gang assault.

S 592 establishes a new third-degree crime called "gang assault" in New Jersey. It makes it a crime punishable by up to 5 years in prison or a $15,000 fine when someone, aided by two or more others present, intentionally causes bodily injury (defined as physical pain, illness, or impairment of physical condition) to another person or a third person. The bill models this offense after a similar provision in New York law and would take effect immediately upon enactment.
