Upgrades trespass in or upon casino gaming property to fourth degree crime.
This bill upgrades the crime of trespassing on casino gaming property from a minor offense to a fourth-degree crime in New Jersey. It directly affects individuals who knowingly enter or remain on licensed casinos and hotel complexes without permission. The legislation amends existing state statutes to list casinos alongside other high-security locations, such as schools and power plants, where unauthorized entry carries heavier penalties. By reclassifying this specific act, the bill increases the legal consequences for unauthorized access to these regulated facilities.
