A 3114 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Includes e-mail addresses in list of confidential items to be redacted from public records under OPRA.

This bill amends New Jersey's Open Public Records Act (OPRA) to explicitly require that email addresses be redacted from public records when released under the law. It adds "email address" to the existing list of confidential personal information, such as social security numbers and driver license numbers, that must be removed from disclosed records. This change protects individuals' personal contact details from public disclosure, ensuring email addresses are treated like other sensitive identifiers. Government agencies must now consistently redact email addresses in all public records they release under OPRA.
