New Jersey S1888 increases penalties for identity theft when the victim is a senior citizen or veteran.
New Jersey S1888 increases penalties for identity theft when the victim is a senior citizen or veteran. The bill raises the severity of crimes involving identity theft, particularly when the victim is a senior citizen or a veteran. For example, if the offense involves one victim and a senior citizen or veteran is deprived of an amount less than $500, a first offense would constitute a crime of the third degree, rather than fourth degree, and a second or subsequent offense would constitute a crime of the second degree, rather than third degree.
