NJ A3387

Adds human trafficking, assisting in human trafficking, and commercial sex abuse of a minor to New Jersey's No Early Release Act (NERA), requiring offenders to serve 85% of their sentence before parole eligibility

Increases the minimum sentence for human trafficking from 20 years to 24 years to life imprisonment, with mandatory NERA provisions applying

Requires a five-year term of parole supervision after release for first-degree convictions and three-year supervision for second-degree convictions

Under NERA, a life sentence is calculated as 75 years, meaning defendants sentenced to life must serve 63.75 years before parole eligibility

Currently, human trafficking-related crimes are not subject to NERA's 85% minimum service requirement despite being first and second-degree offenses
