New Jersey A1749 increases penalties for identity theft when the victim is a senior citizen or veteran.
New Jersey A1749 increases penalties for identity theft when the victim is a senior citizen or veteran. The bill raises the severity of the crime based on the number of victims and the amount of benefit obtained or deprived. If the victim is a senior citizen or veteran, the penalties are increased. For example, if the offense involves 20 or more pieces of information obtained from a retirement community or veterans’ facility, it constitutes a crime of the second degree instead of the third. The sentencing court can also order corrections to public records and provide restitution to the victim.
