Requires expunged records to be accessible for immigration purposes.

This bill requires New Jersey courts to make expunged criminal records accessible to noncitizens who need them for immigration or naturalization applications. Specifically, it mandates that if a person with an expungement order requests their records for such purposes, the court must provide them to the person or their representative. The bill addresses a gap where expungement typically removes records from state files, potentially preventing noncitizens from proving their clean record to federal immigration authorities. It ensures that expunged records remain available for immigration matters without altering the state's standard expungement process. The change applies to all expungement orders granted under New Jersey law.
