When Gov. Phil Murphy conditionally vetoed legislation intended to make major reforms to New Jersey’s expungement law and allow individuals convicted of minor marijuana and hashish-related offenses to expunge their records, it was in part because of the burden that he said it could put on the court system and those using it.

In his conditional veto letter on Aug. 23, Murphy made several recommendations that he said would strengthen the legislation. He also urged adding amendments suggested by the Administrative Office of the Courts.
