Overview
This bill implements procedures for automated ‘Clean Slate’ expungements in New Jersey, aiming to streamline the process for individuals to clear their criminal records. It modifies existing law to shorten waiting periods for certain convictions, particularly disorderly persons and petty disorderly persons offenses, and allows for expungement even if court-ordered financial assessments are not fully paid. The bill also establishes an automated process overseen by the Administrative Office of the Courts to identify and expunge eligible records, and mandates reporting on the process’s effectiveness.
