The bill mandates the Division of State Police in New Jersey to establish and maintain an online portal that allows individuals who have received an expungement order to check the status of their order's processing by the State Bureau of Identification. This portal will be accessible free of charge and aims to enhance transparency and accessibility for those seeking information about their expungement status.

Additionally, the bill requires the Division of State Police to submit an annual report to the Governor and Legislature detailing the number of expungement orders received and processed, categorized by type, along with relevant processing timeframes. This report will be based on the calendar year and will be published on the official website of the Division of State Police, ensuring that the information is readily available to the public. The act is set to take effect immediately upon approval.
