This bill establishes a new crime called "victimization of a senior citizen or a person with a disability" in New Jersey. A person can be charged with this crime if they commit, attempt, conspire, or threaten to commit any offense against a senior citizen (defined as someone 62 years of age or older) or a person with a disability (defined as someone with a significant physical or mental impairment). The crime of victimization is graded one degree higher than the underlying offense, with specific penalties outlined for first and second-degree crimes, including mandatory terms of post-incarceration parole supervision.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that convictions for victimization will not merge with convictions for the underlying offenses, meaning separate sentences will be imposed for each. This aims to ensure that crimes against vulnerable populations are treated with the seriousness they deserve, providing enhanced penalties for offenders who target senior citizens or individuals with disabilities. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
