New Jersey A4260 requires expunged records to be accessible for immigration purposes.

New Jersey A4260 amends N.J.S.2C:52-15 to ensure that expunged records are accessible for immigration or naturalization matters. The bill mandates that if a person requests their expunged records for such purposes, the court must provide proof of expungement and make the records available. This change addresses the issue where expunged records can hinder non-citizens' ability to access necessary records for immigration proceedings. The act takes effect immediately, with the Attorney General and Administrative Director of the Courts allowed to take necessary administrative actions in advance.
