A 5575 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires redaction of certain personal identifying information on vehicle accident reports.

This bill requires New Jersey government agencies to redact personal identifying information - including names, Social Security numbers, home addresses, driver's license numbers, and email addresses - from vehicle accident reports before releasing them to the public. Unredacted reports would only be available to individuals involved in the accident, their attorneys, auto insurance companies representing a party, and law enforcement agencies. Authorized recipients may use this information solely for legal, insurance, or investigative purposes and cannot publicly disclose personal details without written consent from all involved parties or their legal next of kin. The bill imposes escalating civil penalties ($1,000 to $5,000) for unauthorized disclosure and requires agencies to maintain logs of all unredacted report disclosures for potential investigation.
