AI Summary

This Joint Resolution directs the Attorney General of New Jersey to investigate whether organizations that advocate for the legalization of sexual relationships between adults and minors, often referred to as pedophile organizations, are using the internet to encourage individuals who have committed sex offenses to break New Jersey's laws. The resolution highlights concerns that such organizations may use websites to recruit members and that the internet plays an increasing role in sex crimes against youth, emphasizing the state's existing laws designed to protect children from sexual exploitation.
