A 1339 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits, under certain circumstances, disclosure of certain personal identifying information, including home address and photographic image, concerning any federal, State or municipal judicial officer, or that judicial officer's immediate family members.

New Jersey Assembly Bill A1339 prohibits the online posting or publication of personal identifying information - including home addresses and photos - about judicial officers (federal, state, or local judges) and their immediate family members, unless done with intent to harass or risk harm. It makes reckless violations a fourth-degree crime (up to 18 months in jail or $10,000 fine) and purposeful violations a third-degree crime (3-5 years in jail or $15,000 fine). The bill also allows victims to sue for $1,000 per violation plus damages, attorney fees, and other relief, and requires government agencies to get written permission before publishing such information online. This directly affects judges, their families, and anyone sharing their personal details online with harmful intent.
