A 2430 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Imposes certain duties on persons or entities engaged in business pertaining to criminal records and imposes penalties for disseminating expunged record; increases maximum fine for current disorderly persons offense.

This bill (A2430) modifies New Jersey law regarding expunged criminal records. It requires businesses that collect and sell criminal record information (like background check services) to regularly update records, delete expunged entries, and inform clients that records are only valid as of the collection date. The bill increases the maximum fine for revealing expunged records from $200 to $2,000, and imposes a $5,000 penalty (or actual damages) on businesses that knowingly share expunged records. It directly affects background check companies and anyone disclosing expunged information, aiming to strengthen enforcement of expungement protections.
