approval of defendant's participation in conditional dismissal program.
2. Court Approval of
Defendant's Participation in Conditional Dismissal Program. After considering
the eligibility criteria set forth in section 1 of P.L.2013, c.158
(C.2C:43-13.1), the defendant's criminal history and the municipal prosecutor's
recommendation, the court may, without entering a judgment of conviction, and
after proper reference to the State Bureau of Identification criminal history
record information files, approve the defendant's participation in the
conditional dismissal program established pursuant to P.L.2013, c.158
(C.2C:43-13.1 et al.) and place the defendant under a probation monitoring
status for a period of one year. The court may also impose financial
obligations and other terms and conditions in accordance with P.L.2013, c.158
(C.2C:43-13.1 et al.). Where the court approves a defendant's participation in
the conditional dismissal program over the municipal prosecutor's objection, the
order approving the defendant's participation in the program shall be a final
order but upon request of the municipal prosecutor shall be stayed for a period
of 10 days in order to permit the prosecutor to appeal such order to the
Superior Court.
