New Jersey A5095 implements procedures for automated "Clean Slate" expungements.

New Jersey A5095 sets forth procedures for implementing an automated process to grant expungements of criminal records under the "Clean Slate" expungement law. The "Clean Slate" law was enacted in 2019 and called for an automated process to grant expungements without the need for a person to file a petition with the court. The bill shortens the waiting period for disorderly persons and petty disorderly person convictions to five years and for convictions of eligible indictable crimes to seven years.
