Expands cyber-harassment to include reckless online communications.

This bill (A 3264) proposes to expand New Jersey's cyber-harassment law to include online communications made with "reckless disregard for the safety of another," not just those intended to harass. It adds a new provision where reckless online threats, sharing lewd material recklessly, or making threats against someone's property or person could be charged as a disorderly persons offense (a less serious offense than current fourth-degree crimes). The bill directly affects people making online communications, minors found guilty of cyber-harassment (who may face mandatory education programs), and parents/guardians who fail to comply with court orders related to their minor's behavior. If enacted, it would change penalties for reckless online harassment from higher-level crimes to a less severe classification.
