Bill Summary
This bill provides that the presumption of non-imprisonment for certain third and fourth degree crimes does not apply to a person convicted of theft of a firearm. Theft of a firearm is a third degree crime which is punishable by a fine of up to $15,000, a term of imprisonment of three to five years, or both. Currently, N.J.S.2C:44-1 provides a presumption of non-imprisonment for most first-time offenders of third and fourth degree crimes. Accordingly, a first-time offender is typically sentenced to a term of probation, rather than a term of imprisonment upon conviction. This bill expands the list of crimes to which the presumption does not apply to include theft of a firearm.
