Bars expungement of conviction, arrest, or charge if crime or offense involved domestic violence.

This bill would prevent the expungement (deletion of records) of any arrest, charge, or conviction related to domestic violence. It affects individuals who have been arrested or charged with domestic violence offenses, even if they were not convicted (dismissed, acquitted, or discharged without conviction). The bill adds domestic violence offenses to the list of crimes that cannot be expunged, which already includes serious offenses like murder, kidnapping, and sexual assault. This change would apply to all domestic violence cases in New Jersey, regardless of whether a conviction occurred.
