Bars the denial of expungement application in certain instances.

This bill amends New Jersey law to prevent the denial of expungement requests for dismissed charges. Specifically, it removes a barrier that previously allowed courts to deny expungement if civil litigation involving the same arrest was pending. The change applies directly to individuals seeking to expunge records under N.J.S.2C:52-6 (for charges dismissed without conviction), ensuring their expungement applications cannot be blocked by ongoing civil cases. The policy change takes effect immediately upon enactment.
