Clarifies crime of unlawful access concerning certain password protected communications in electronic storage.

New Jersey Assembly Bill A745 clarifies that accessing password-protected electronic communications (like emails) without authorization is illegal. It specifies that accessing such communications without knowing the password or having express consent from at least one party to the communication constitutes a fourth-degree crime. If the access is for commercial gain, private advantage, or malicious damage, it becomes a more serious third-degree crime. The bill directly affects individuals and entities accessing others' digital communications without permission, making clear that no implied consent exists - even if an account was left unlocked. This amendment updates New Jersey's wiretapping statute (C.2A:156A-27) to address modern digital privacy concerns.
