Revises law concerning bias intimidation to include members of press or media in protected class.

This bill (A 2533) updates New Jersey’s bias intimidation law to explicitly protect journalists and media workers. It adds "employment as a member of the press or media" to the list of protected classes, meaning intimidation targeting them because of their profession would be a crime. The law defines protected media workers as accredited press corps members, photojournalists, or individuals operating news equipment. This expands existing protections that already cover race, religion, sexual orientation, disability, and other characteristics under the statute.
