A 3755 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

The "Uniform Criminal Records Accuracy Act."

This bill requires New Jersey's criminal justice agencies to maintain accurate criminal history records by creating detailed dissemination logs for every request, setting deadlines for submitting information to the State Police, and establishing clear procedures for correcting errors. It creates a "mistaken identity prevention registry" to help prevent confusion between people with similar names in criminal records. Individuals can request to review their own records, and if errors are found, agencies must correct them within 14 days and notify anyone who received inaccurate information. The State Police must provide free annual access to a person's own record and ensure information is accurate before it's used for non-criminal justice purposes like employment or licensing.
