Clarifies court procedure for considering expungement applications when no objections are filed.
This bill amends New Jersey's expungement laws to clarify the procedure for the timely consideration of expungement applications. It specifies that if no objections are filed by the Superintendent of State Police, the Attorney General, or the county prosecutor within 60 days, objections are deemed waived. The court will then consider the petition on the 61st day, or the next business day if the 61st day falls on a weekend or legal holiday. The court may grant the expungement without a hearing or deny it based on its own review of the petitioner's record.
