S 2513 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits dissemination of certain criminal history background information.*

This bill requires the New Jersey State Bureau of Identification (SBI) to check if a person has an unprocessed court-ordered expungement before sharing their criminal history background information. It directly affects individuals who have had expungement orders granted but whose records haven't yet been updated in the SBI system. The key mechanism mandates that the SBI must verify and update records to reflect expungements before disseminating background checks for employment, licensing, or volunteer positions. This prevents the SBI from providing outdated or incorrect information that could unfairly block opportunities for eligible people.
