Provides that records of convictions for carjacking and promoting prostitution of child shall not be expunged.

This bill (S 2482) amends New Jersey's expungement law to permanently prevent the removal of criminal records for two specific offenses: carjacking convictions and convictions for promoting the prostitution of a child. It directly affects individuals convicted of these crimes, ensuring their records remain accessible in background checks and public records indefinitely. The law changes the eligibility criteria under N.J.S.2C:52-2 by explicitly excluding these offenses from all expungement possibilities, regardless of other factors like time passed or prior convictions. This means convicted individuals cannot petition to have these records sealed or erased, maintaining transparency for employers, landlords, and law enforcement.
