Creates disorderly persons offense for persons who conceal or attempt to conceal their identity while committing another crime or offense.

Summary

The bill makes it a disorderly‑persons offense to wear a mask or disguise to instill fear, avoid capture, or hinder prosecution while committing a crime. It only applies when the person is already charged with an underlying offense under Title 2C and the mask is not used for medical, religious, or expressive purposes. A conviction for this offense does not merge with any other criminal conviction.
