New Jersey A3239 prohibits negotiated plea agreements for burglary cases involving firearms.
New Jersey A3239 amends the state's burglary law to prohibit negotiated plea agreements for burglary cases where a firearm is involved. Specifically, it ensures that if a person is convicted of burglary while armed with a firearm, they cannot receive a lesser term of imprisonment or fine through a plea agreement. This change aims to maintain stricter penalties for burglary cases involving firearms, aligning with the state's existing law that classifies such burglaries as a second-degree crime. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
