A busy week in the Legislature led to a number of key bills the New Jersey State Bar Association (NJSBA) is monitoring being voted out of the Senate.
Special probation in drug court—S-241 (Scutari)/S-491 (Brown)/A-2690 (Armato)
The NJSBA supports an expansion of the availability of expungements following successful drug court participation. In these combined bills, the Legislature voted to render a person ineligible for expungement relief if they were ever convicted for a violent or more serious offense that is barred from expungement pursuant to N.J.S. 2C:52-2. The bill would further allow anyone seeking expungement relief to also include records and information relating to all arrests, detentions, convictions, and proceedings for any crime, disorderly persons offense, and petty disorderly persons offense enumerated in Title 2C, but not relating to any crime or offense enumerated in any other statutes or municipal ordinances.
