Expands "Daniel's Law" to prohibit disclosure of personal information of members of NJ Legislature.
This bill expands "Daniel's Law" to prohibit the disclosure of home addresses and unpublished telephone numbers of New Jersey legislators. It creates a process for legislators or their immediate family members to request redaction of this information through a new Office of Information Privacy. The law prohibits both government entities and private parties from disclosing these personal details, with violations potentially resulting in criminal penalties (4th degree for reckless violations, 3rd degree for purposeful violations) and civil lawsuits seeking at least $1,000 in damages per violation. The bill applies to current, former, and retired legislators, as well as their immediate family members living in the same household.
