Permits government records custodians to redact certain personal information.

This bill (S 1262) amends New Jersey's Open Public Records Act to require government agencies to redact specific sensitive personal information before releasing public records. It mandates redaction of social security numbers, driver's license numbers, unlisted phone numbers, and home addresses of judicial officers, prosecutors, and law enforcement officers. Agencies may also redact other personal details like mailing addresses, phone numbers, medical/financial information, or email addresses when disclosure would violate privacy expectations or risk harassment, identity theft, or crime. The law directly affects government custodians handling public records and aims to protect citizens' personal data while maintaining public access to government records.
