New Jersey A1404 makes contracts to provide criminal assistance unlawful and creates a civil right of action for victims of certain criminal conduct.

New Jersey A1404 declares contracts to provide criminal assistance unlawful. This includes agreements where a person or private entity commits acts of concealment, alteration, or destruction of evidence to prevent the discovery or apprehension of an alleged offender in exchange for money or non-monetary compensation. The bill voids such agreements and grants victims a private right of action against the person or private entity involved.
