A 3712 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Exempts handwritten signature from public disclosure; requires redaction when posted on Internet.

This New Jersey bill requires public agencies to redact handwritten signatures from documents they post on the Internet. It mandates that agencies remove handwritten signatures before making documents available online, while allowing individuals to request redaction of their signatures from documents posted before the law took effect. The law does not apply to signatures on election petitions, ballot questions, or public officials' signatures on government records related to their official duties. Agencies must also post notice of these requirements on their websites.
