New Jersey A3351 prohibits moderate and high risk sex offenders from holding jobs primarily involving contact with children.

New Jersey A3351 aims to safeguard children by barring moderate and high risk sex offenders from jobs where 80% or more of their duties involve contact with children. The bill defines "primarily consists of contact with children" as jobs where 80% or more of the duties involve interaction with a child. A "sex offender" is someone convicted of a sex offense and assessed as having a moderate or high risk of re-offense. Violators face a third-degree crime penalty, which includes up to five years in prison, a $15,000 fine, or both.
