Upgrades penalties for certain crimes committed during state of emergency in New Jersey.

The bill amends various sections of New Jersey law to upgrade the penalties for certain crimes when committed during a state of emergency. Specifically, it raises the crime grade for offenses such as robbery, burglary, theft, shoplifting, and interference with transportation. For instance, robbery committed during a state of emergency is now a first-degree crime, while burglary, theft, shoplifting, and interference with transportation are upgraded to second-degree crimes.
