NJ S3267

Creates a rebuttable presumption of pretrial detention for defendants charged with motor vehicle theft when the theft involved conduct that caused death or serious bodily injury, or created a substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury to another person

Amends New Jersey's Criminal Justice Reform Act (P.L.2014, c.31) to add aggravated motor vehicle theft to the list of offenses where pretrial detention is presumed alongside murder and crimes carrying life imprisonment

Allows defendants to rebut the detention presumption by a preponderance of the evidence; if unrebutted, courts may order detention without monetary bail or release conditions

Defines "serious bodily injury" as injury creating substantial risk of death, serious permanent disfigurement, or protracted loss or impairment of bodily function

Motor vehicle theft remains a third-degree crime punishable by up to 5 years imprisonment and up to $15,000 fine, but this bill adds enhanced pretrial detention procedures for cases involving harm or risk of harm
