New Jersey A4065 mandates incarceration for juveniles committing third or subsequent motor vehicle theft or eluding offenses.

New Jersey A4065 amends existing law to increase penalties for juveniles adjudicated delinquent for motor vehicle-related crimes. The bill requires a mandatory one-year incarceration term for juveniles found guilty of a third or subsequent offense involving theft of a motor vehicle, theft of a catalytic converter, or eluding law enforcement while operating a motor vehicle. The court must weigh various factors, including the nature of the offense, the impact on victims and the community, and the juvenile's potential for rehabilitation, when determining the appropriate disposition.
