A 4223 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 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 allows juveniles adjudged delinquent for acts that would have been robbery under adult law to expunge their records, provided the act did not involve bodily injury, force against another, or use of a deadly weapon. It directly affects youth in New Jersey who committed non-violent robbery-like offenses as minors. The key provision amends expungement law to create an exception for these specific juvenile robbery cases, which are currently ineligible for expungement under general rules. The change applies only to cases without violence or weapons, aligning juvenile expungement eligibility with the standard for adult robbery offenses that typically cannot be expunged.
