A 3744 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Permits, under certain circumstances, person adjudged juvenile delinquent to expunge record for act which would have constituted robbery if committed by adult.

This bill (A3744) allows juveniles adjudged delinquent for acts that would have been robbery if committed by an adult to expunge their records under specific conditions. It directly affects young people in New Jersey whose juvenile offenses would have been classified as robbery (under N.J.S.2C:15-1) but did not involve bodily injury, force against others, or use of a deadly weapon. The key provision creates an exception to current law, which generally prohibits expunging robbery-related juvenile records, by permitting expungement only for non-violent robbery-like acts. This change aligns juvenile record expungement standards more closely with adult expungement rules for similar offenses.
