New Jersey A348 makes threats of violence against prosecutors, law enforcement officers, and their family members a second degree crime with No Early.

New Jersey A348 amends the state's criminal code to classify threats of violence against prosecutors, law enforcement officers, and their family members as a second degree crime. This change subjects offenders to the No Early Release Act, requiring them to serve a minimum of 85% of their sentence before becoming eligible for parole. The bill specifies that family members include spouses, parents, children, and other relatives residing with the threatened person. The act takes effect immediately upon enactment.
