Bill > S3351

Introduced Session

This bill would enact several provisions concerning the crime of carjacking. The bill would require the court to set monetary bail for a person charged with carjacking. Bail would be in an amount at least equal to the value of the motor vehicle involved in the alleged crime. The bill also requires that if a person is charged with both carjacking and eluding a law enforcement officer, the court would be required to set bail in an amount at least equal to twice the value of the motor vehicle involved in the alleged crimes. Finally, the bill requires that in a case where there is probable cause that a juvenile committed a delinquent act which if committed by an adult would constitute carjacking, and the juvenile is at least 15 years old, on motion of the prosecutor the court would waive jurisdiction by the Family Part to an appropriate court for adult criminal proceedings.
