New Jersey A2021 amends the state's criminal code to classify acts of sexual penetration or contact by a transportation network company or taxicab driver without the passenger's permission as aggravated sexual assault or contact. This applies when the driver uses coercion or acts without the victim's affirmative and freely-given permission. Aggravated sexual assault is a first-degree crime, while aggravated sexual contact is a third-degree crime.
