Bill Summary
Under current law, criminal records may be expunged after certain periods of time have elapsed. However, the records of certain serious offenses, such as criminal homicide, kidnapping, and sexual assault, are not subject to expungement. This bill would add two crimes to the list of those which may not be expunged: carjacking and promoting prostitution of a child. Carjacking, set out in N.J.S.2C:15-2, is a crime of the first degree. Ordinarily a crime of the first degree is punishable by a term of imprisonment of 10 to 20 years or a fine of up to $200,000, or both. However, a defendant convicted of carjacking is subject to a term of imprisonment of 10 to 30 years with a mandatory minimum term of five years during which the defendant is not eligible for parole. Knowingly promoting prostitution of a child, set out in paragraph (3) of subsection b. of N.J.S.2C:34-1, is also a crime of the first degree, punishable by the ordinary term of imprisonment for this crime of 10 to 20 years or a fine of up to $200,000, or both.
AI Summary
This bill would add two crimes to the list of offenses that cannot be expunged from a person's criminal record: carjacking and knowingly promoting the prostitution of a child. Carjacking is a first-degree crime punishable by 10 to 30 years in prison with a mandatory minimum of 5 years. Promoting the prostitution of a child is also a first-degree crime, punishable by 10 to 20 years in prison or a fine of up to $200,000. By making these crimes ineligible for expungement, the bill aims to ensure that the criminal records for these serious offenses remain on the individual's record and cannot be erased.
