Increases penalties for certain motor vehicle theft and carjacking offenses; establishes presumption of pretrial detention in enumerated circumstances.

This bill increases penalties for motor vehicle theft and carjacking in New Jersey. For repeat offenses, it raises fines to $1,000 (third or subsequent offenses) and allows courts to suspend driving privileges for up to 10 years. It also creates a presumption of pretrial detention for defendants charged with carjacking who commit related crimes within a short timeframe, requiring courts to hold hearings before releasing them. The fines collected will fund auto theft law enforcement efforts.
