New Jersey S3449 lowers the monetary threshold for certain fourth degree theft crimes from $200 to $100.
New Jersey S3449 amends the state's consolidated theft statute, N.J.S.2C:20-2, to change the monetary threshold for certain fourth degree theft crimes. Under the current law, theft constitutes a crime of the fourth degree if the amount involved is at least $200 but does not exceed $500. The bill lowers this threshold to at least $100 but does not exceed $500. The amendment also adjusts the threshold for disorderly persons offenses, setting it at less than $100. The bill maintains the provisions for aggregating amounts involved in thefts committed pursuant to one scheme or course of conduct.
