NJ AJR107

Proposes amendments to New Jersey Rules of Evidence (N.J.R.E. 401, 404, and 801) to prohibit using a defendant's creative or artistic expressions in audio or video format as evidence or impeachment evidence in criminal proceedings

Defines "creative or artistic expression" broadly to include music, dance, performance art, visual art, poetry, literature, film, and similar creative works

Named "J.B.'s Law" after Edgar Jamal Gamory (stage name "J.B."), an artist convicted based partly on evidence from his music lyrics and rap videos

Cites concerns that artistic expression evidence, particularly graphic or violent content, is inflammatory and prejudicial to defendants while having little value in proving motive or intent

Requires the New Jersey Supreme Court to adopt the proposed rule changes after the Governor signs the resolution, with implementation date set by the Court's adoption order
