A 1381 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires disclosure of data recording devices in motor vehicles; limits access to recorded data.

This bill requires vehicle manufacturers to disclose in the owner's manual if a new car has a data recording device (like a crash recorder). It limits access to recorded data - such as speed, location, or crash details - to the vehicle owner or with their consent, except for emergencies, repairs, or safety research (with owner anonymity). Insurance companies cannot refuse coverage, raise premiums, or deny discounts based on an owner's refusal to share this data. The bill also prohibits altering crash data after serious accidents without allowing time for law enforcement to obtain a warrant.
