Establishes a five-year pilot program in Paterson to prevent disclosure of expunged records for non-indictable offenses.

The bill establishes a five-year pilot program in Paterson to prevent the disclosure of expunged records for non-indictable offenses, such as disorderly persons offenses or violations of municipal ordinances. This aims to help individuals with minor infractions avoid legal disabilities that could hinder their employment opportunities in the judicial branch or law enforcement and corrections agencies. The pilot program excludes those seeking employment as court directors, administrators, or deputy administrators, who must still disclose expunged records.
