New Jersey A112 establishes a rebuttable presumption of pretrial detention for motor vehicle theft offenses, increases penalties, and authorizes home.

New Jersey A112 amends the state's criminal justice laws to establish a rebuttable presumption of pretrial detention for defendants charged with motor vehicle theft offenses. It increases penalties for such offenses and authorizes home detention for minors adjudicated delinquent for these crimes. The bill also creates a two-year pilot program within the Juvenile Justice Commission to deter motor vehicle theft by providing services to at-risk juveniles. The program, funded with $7 million, aims to reduce recidivism and keep minors out of the criminal justice system.
