Includes e-mail addresses in list of confidential items to be redacted from public records under open public records act.

S 1236 (New Jersey) amends the Open Public Records Act to explicitly require redaction of email addresses from public records. The bill adds "email address" to the list of personal identifying information (alongside name, address, and phone number) that must be removed when releasing government records. This change directly affects constituents who communicate with legislators via email, as their addresses will now automatically be redacted. The key mechanism is a specific amendment to the definition of confidential information in the law, ensuring email addresses receive the same privacy protections as other personal data.
