Requires any individual seeking elective public office to disclose when filing petition of nomination whether he or she has been convicted of a criminal offense.

This bill requires candidates for any elective public office in New Jersey to disclose at the time of filing their nomination petition whether they have been convicted of a criminal offense. If convicted, they must provide specific details including the offense type, dates, conviction date, penalties (like fines or jail time), and involved parties - either in a signed statement or via an official document. The disclosure applies to all candidates, including those on multi-candidate petitions, and covers convictions under New Jersey law or in any other U.S. jurisdiction or country. It does not disqualify candidates but mandates transparency about criminal history at the initial filing stage.
