Overview
This bill amends New Jersey law to allow individuals to petition a court to vacate an order of expungement, even after the initial five-year period. It expands the circumstances under which a court can grant such a petition, including situations where previously undisclosed criminal charges were not revealed during the original expungement hearing, or if ‘good cause’ is demonstrated. The bill also clarifies procedures for filing and responding to such petitions, including timelines for court action and requirements for notifying the subject of the expungement order.
