Bill > A4595

This bill: 1. Increases the penalties for repeat convictions of certain motor vehicle-related crimes, such as theft of a motor vehicle and receiving stolen property that is a motor vehicle, by allowing the court to impose an extended term of imprisonment upon application by the prosecutor. 2. Increases the penalties for individuals who are leaders of an auto theft trafficking network, making it a first-degree crime if the leader conspires with a person 17 years of age or younger, with the potential for higher fines. 3. Requires a mandatory minimum term of incarceration of 60 days, during which the juvenile shall be ineligible for parole, if the juvenile has been adjudicated delinquent for certain motor vehicle-related offenses and has previously been adjudicated delinquent for similar offenses. The bill aims to deter and punish repeat offenders of motor vehicle-related crimes, as well as target leaders of auto theft trafficking networks, particularly those who involve minors in their criminal activities.
