Bill Summary

This bill provides that a person may be sentenced to an extended term of imprisonment for repeat convictions of receiving stolen property. Under the bill, a person is a persistent offender if the person has previously been convicted on two or more prior and separate occasions of receiving stolen property in violation of N.J.S.A.2C:20-7, regardless of the dates of the convictions. A persistent offender may be sentenced to an extended term, upon motion of the prosecutor, if the prior conviction is for a crime committed on a separate occasion and the crime for which the person is being sentenced was either: (1) within 10 years of the date of the defendant's last release from confinement for the commission of any crime; or (2) within 10 years of the date of the commission of the most recent violation of N.J.S.2C:20-7 for which the defendant has a prior conviction.

AI Summary

This bill allows for the sentencing of a person to an extended term of imprisonment for repeat convictions of receiving stolen property. A person is considered a "persistent offender" if they have been previously convicted of receiving stolen property on two or more separate occasions, regardless of the dates of the convictions. The extended term can be imposed if the prior conviction was for a crime committed on a separate occasion and the current crime was committed either within 10 years of the defendant's last release from confinement or within 10 years of the most recent prior conviction for receiving stolen property. The court must hold a hearing and provide written notice to the defendant before imposing the extended sentence.
