Expands categories of individuals who may bring a claim under wrongful imprisonment statute.

This bill expands eligibility for wrongful imprisonment claims in New Jersey by allowing two new groups to sue: individuals wrongfully civilly committed as "sexually violent predators" under P.L.1998, c.71, and those who entered guilty pleas but were later exonerated. It also clarifies that claimants have two years from their release (or conviction vacatur) to file suit, with a special two-year window for those affected after December 27, 2013. Damages now include $25,000 per year for time served on parole, probation, or as a registered sex offender after incarceration, in addition to existing compensation for wrongful conviction. The bill modifies existing statutes without changing the core calculation of damages (twice prior income or $50,000/year for incarceration).
