This bill amends the New Jersey Statutes to allow for extended sentencing for individuals convicted of receiving stolen property, specifically under N.J.S.A.2C:20-7, if they have two or more prior convictions for the same offense. The prosecutor can request an extended term of imprisonment if the prior convictions occurred on separate occasions and the current offense was committed within 10 years of the defendant's last release from confinement or within 10 years of the most recent prior conviction.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that prior convictions must be defined and proven according to N.J.S.2C:44-4, and a hearing must be held to establish the grounds for the extended sentence. The defendant will receive written notice of the proposed grounds and has the right to contest the evidence against them and present their own evidence. This legislation aims to enhance penalties for repeat offenders of receiving stolen property to deter such crimes.
