This bill amends N.J.S.A.2C:52-10.1 to clarify the court procedures for considering expungement applications when no objections are filed by the relevant authorities. It establishes that upon receiving the necessary information from the court, the Superintendent of State Police, the Attorney General, and the county prosecutor must review the petitioner's criminal history within 60 days. If they do not file any objections within this timeframe, those objections are considered waived, allowing the court to proceed with the application on the 61st day, or the next business day if that day falls on a weekend or holiday.

The bill aims to streamline the expungement process by ensuring timely consideration of applications, thereby reducing unnecessary delays when no objections are present. It allows the court to grant or deny expungements based on its review of the petitioner's record, in accordance with existing laws. This clarification is intended to provide guidance to all parties involved in the expungement process and enhance the efficiency of the judicial system.
