Bill > A2669

This bill provides a process for human trafficking victims to vacate and expunge certain arrests, charges, complaints, convictions, other dispositions, and DNA records associated with violations they committed as a result of their victimization. The bill allows victims to apply to the Superior Court to have these records vacated and expunged, and the court may do so if it finds the person was a victim of human trafficking and the violation was a result of that victimization. The application and supporting documents are to be kept confidential, and victims of certain serious crimes have the opportunity to submit a written statement to the court. The bill also allows victims to appear remotely for court proceedings unless there is a compelling reason to deny it.
