Expungements After Completing PTI or Conditional Discharge Program in New Jersey
The law for expungements after completing the PTI or conditional discharge program is explained under N.J.S.A. 2C:52-6. It explains:
b. Any person who has had charges dismissed against him pursuant to P.L.1970, c. 226, § 27 (C. 24:21-27) [FN1] or pursuant to a program of supervisory treatment, shall be barred from the relief provided in this section until 6 months after the entry of the order of dismissal.
