Permits government records custodians to redact certain personal information.

New Jersey's Assembly Bill A1626 permits government offices to redact specific personal information from public records before releasing them. It allows custodians to remove home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, medical details, financial data, and other personal information when disclosure would violate privacy expectations or risk harassment, identity theft, or crime. This applies to all public records requests under New Jersey's Open Public Records Act (OPRA), protecting citizens whose personal data appears in government files. The bill codifies privacy protections established in the Burnett v. County of Bergen court case, ensuring sensitive information isn't exposed to public view.
