Revises law concerning vacating court orders to expunge criminal records.

Summary

The bill changes New Jersey law so a court can cancel a prior order that sealed a criminal record either within five years if undisclosed charges existed, or at any time if the court finds good cause. Good cause includes changes in the person's situation, ineligibility, new convictions, marijuana‑related expungements, post‑conviction relief, or other reasons the court deems appropriate. It also creates filing, service, objection and hearing deadlines for such petitions.
