Establishes mandatory penalties for committing burglary and theft during a state of emergency.

S 62 amends New Jersey's Disaster Control Act to impose mandatory penalties for burglary, robbery, or theft committed during a declared state of emergency. It directly affects individuals who commit these crimes while emergencies (such as natural disasters or war-related threats) are ongoing, as defined under the act. The key provision requires courts to impose a mandatory six-month prison term or six months of community service in addition to standard penalties for these offenses. These penalties apply during active emergencies and must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt in municipal court. The bill does not change existing penalties for the crimes themselves but adds this mandatory enhancement during emergency periods.
