Bill Summary
This bill creates the New Jersey White Collar Crime Offender Registry and requires the Department of Law and Public Safety to develop and maintain a registry website. The information to be provided on the registry includes: (1) all names and aliases by which the offender is or has been known, excluding any Internet identifiers; (2) a physical description, including the offender's date of birth, height, weight, and eye and hair color; (3) a recent photograph of the offender; (4) the "white collar" crimes listed in section 5 of the bill, of which the offender has been convicted; and (5) when available, the crimes for which the offender has been convicted; a description of the offender's targets; and any other relevant identifying information of the offender. A person convicted of the following offenses is required to be registered under the bill: insurance fraud; mortgage fraud; securities fraud; misapplication of entrusted property by fiduciary; money laundering; theft by deception; and any other financial or monetary crime, fraudulent act, or theft included in the department's rules and regulations adopted as a result of this bill. Offenders who were convicted of the specified offenses between December 31, 2005 and the date of this bill's enactment will not be placed on the registry if they have complied with all court orders, paid all restitution claims, and have not been convicted of any other offenses for which registration is required. The duration for which offenders will be placed on the registry would be 10 years for a first offense, an additional 10 years for a second offense, and for life if convicted of a third offense. The bill also provides for a process and conditions under which a person may apply to have his or her name and information removed from the registry.
AI Summary
This bill establishes the New Jersey White Collar Crime Offender Registry, managed by the Department of Law and Public Safety, which will include information such as an offender's names, physical description, photograph, and the specific white collar crimes they have been convicted of, such as insurance fraud, mortgage fraud, and securities fraud. The registry aims to make this information publicly accessible via a website, with a disclaimer warning users against misusing the data for harassment. Offenders convicted of these crimes after December 31, 2005, will be registered for a period of 10 years for a first offense, an additional 10 years for a second, and for life for a third, unless they have met specific conditions like complying with court orders and paying restitution. The bill also outlines a process for offenders to apply for removal from the registry after meeting certain criteria, including completing their sentence, undergoing treatment, and paying all restitution.
