New Jersey A110 raises the crime degree for unlawful motor vehicle taking.

New Jersey A110 amends the state's criminal code to increase the severity of penalties for unlawful taking of a motor vehicle. Currently, taking a motor vehicle without consent is a fourth degree crime, punishable by up to one year in prison and a fine of up to $1,000. This bill elevates the offense to a third degree crime, which carries a potential sentence of three to five years in prison and a fine of up to $15,000. The change aims to deter such actions by imposing harsher penalties.
