Clarifies that bribery statute applies to unlawful gratuities received either before or after official acts.

This bill amends New Jersey's bribery statute to clarify that accepting benefits as consideration for official acts is a crime regardless of whether the benefit was given before or after the official action was taken. The change directly affects public servants, party officials, and voters by ensuring that gratuities received after an official decision are treated the same as those given beforehand. Under the new language, the timing of when a benefit is received no longer serves as a defense in bribery prosecutions, aligning state law with a broader interpretation of corruption. The amendment also specifies that any benefit not authorized by law counts as consideration, and it establishes that the value of the benefit determines whether the offense is a second or third-degree crime.
