New Jersey S789 mandates monetary bail for carjacking and requires juveniles charged with carjacking to be tried as adults.
New Jersey S789 establishes that courts must set monetary bail for individuals charged with carjacking, with the bail amount at least equal to the value of the motor vehicle involved. If the carjacking charge is combined with eluding a law enforcement officer, the bail must be at least twice the value of the vehicle. The bill also mandates that juveniles aged 15 or older charged with carjacking be tried as adults. This includes waiving jurisdiction of the juvenile delinquency case without the juvenile's consent and referring the case to an appropriate court for adult criminal proceedings.
