A 1384 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits release of home addresses of certain public safety employees by governmental entities.

This bill prohibits New Jersey governmental entities from releasing the home addresses of specific public safety employees, including corrections officers, parole officers, probation officers, law enforcement officers, and retired law enforcement officers. It amends the Open Public Records Act to exclude these home addresses from the definition of "government record," meaning they would no longer be publicly accessible under current law. Government agencies must now redact these addresses from any records before granting public access, with exceptions for government agencies using the information for official purposes or for private individuals enforcing court-ordered child support payments. The bill directly affects the privacy protections of these public safety employees by preventing their home addresses from being disclosed through public records requests.
