Requires mandatory minimum term of imprisonment for leaving scene of accident resulting in serious bodily injury.

This bill requires a mandatory 3-year prison sentence with no parole eligibility for drivers who leave the scene of a motor vehicle accident causing serious bodily injury. It directly affects drivers convicted of leaving accident scenes under New Jersey law (specifically amending N.J.S.2C:12-1.1). The key provision eliminates judicial discretion for third-degree offenses in these cases, mandating a minimum 3-year term and prohibiting suspended sentences or parole. The bill also clarifies that this conviction does not merge with separate assault charges, requiring consecutive sentences for multiple offenses.
