A 3287 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes pilot program in Paterson authorizing non-disclosure of records of certain expungements.

This bill establishes a 5-year pilot program in Paterson, New Jersey, allowing local courts and law enforcement agencies to disregard certain expunged records when hiring. It specifically exempts from disclosure: (1) arrests or charges that didn’t result in conviction (e.g., dismissed cases), and (2) convictions for minor offenses like disorderly conduct or municipal ordinance violations. However, applicants for court director, administrator, or deputy administrator roles must still disclose all expunged records. After five years, Paterson must submit a report to the state legislature recommending whether to continue, expand, or end the program.
