Increases penalty for failing to register as sex offender for more than 24 months.

This bill increases penalties for individuals who fail to register as sex offenders in New Jersey. Specifically, it changes the offense from a third-degree crime (for less than 24 months of non-registration) to a second-degree crime (for 24 months or more of non-registration). The policy directly affects people convicted of sex offenses who do not comply with registration requirements under New Jersey law. This change raises the severity of the criminal charge for long-term non-compliance, without altering the registration obligations themselves.
