Morris County Enforces New Law Against Home Invasions

**Morristown, NJ** – Morris County law enforcement is taking action against home invasions with the implementation of a new law. This decision follows a spike in residential burglaries where criminals have escalated from stealing cars to invading homes, often while residents are present.

Governor Phil Murphy signed a bi-partisan bill, S-3006, on Friday, alongside Morris County Prosecutor Robert J. Carroll and Sheriff James Gannon. The legislation introduces two new classifications for burglary offenses: home invasion burglary and residential burglary. These classifications come with severe penalties under the No Early Release Act, where offenders must serve at least 85% of their sentence before parole eligibility.

Home invasion burglary, now a first-degree crime, involves entering a residence with the intent to commit an offense while causing bodily harm or carrying a weapon. Residential burglary, classified as a second-degree crime, encompasses unlawful entry with the intent to commit an offense.

**Harrisburg, PA** – Attorney General Michelle Henry announced a lawsuit against Prospect Medical Holdings, Inc., citing mismanagement and neglect of the Crozer Health System, affecting care for hundreds of thousands in Pennsylvania.

The Attorney General’s office, which oversees certain non-profit transactions, initially had concerns about the 2016 sale but agreed when specific conditions were met. The lawsuit emphasizes Prospect’s failure to uphold obligations, leading to hospital closures and service suspensions.

The complaint highlights the diversion of over $450 million to investors and inadequate funding of pension accounts. Current operations at Crozer-Chester Medical Center and Taylor Hospital serve over 500 patients daily. The Attorney General seeks immediate judicial intervention.
