New Jersey S3106 creates a separate crime for victimization of senior citizens or persons with disabilities, with stricter penalties.

New Jersey S3106 establishes the crime of victimization against senior citizens or persons with disabilities, which carries a penalty one degree higher than the underlying offense. A "person with a disability" is defined as someone with a pre-existing physical or mental impairment that limits their ability to resist. A "senior citizen" is defined as someone 60 years of age or older. The bill specifies that if the victim is a senior citizen or a person with a disability, the actor is strictly liable for the victimization offense, regardless of their knowledge of the victim's status.
