Requires Attorney General to establish and maintain domestic extremist organization database.
S 1791 requires the New Jersey Attorney General to create and maintain a public online database listing domestic extremist organizations operating in or connected to New Jersey. The database must include each group's names/nicknames, purpose, recruitment tactics (including targeting law enforcement/military members), and known criminal activities. It will be searchable and accessible on the Attorney General's website, as defined by the bill's terms of "domestic extremism" (violent acts motivated by political/ideological views) and "domestic extremist organization" (groups formed for such activity). This bill directly affects law enforcement agencies, the public, and organizations designated as domestic extremist groups under the new definition. The database is intended to serve as a public safety resource, not to alter existing laws or restrict free speech.
