New Jersey A4170 mandates the forfeiture of public office, position, or employment upon conviction of specified offenses.

New Jersey A4170 imposes mandatory forfeiture of public office, position, or employment upon conviction of certain offenses. The bill specifies that a court may determine an offense was related to the person's public role even if it did not occur during work hours or on work grounds. The court must enter an order of forfeiture immediately upon a finding of guilt or a guilty plea, unless a stay is ordered. Forfeiture may be waived for disorderly persons or petty disorderly persons offenses if the county prosecutor or Attorney General applies and good cause is shown.
