S 2349 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires registration of data brokers and prohibits brokering of certain health records.

This bill requires data brokers operating in New Jersey to register annually with the Division of Consumer Affairs for a $100 fee and publicly disclose their data collection practices, privacy policies, and cybersecurity history. It specifically prohibits data brokers from selling, licensing, or sharing physical health records (like medical treatment records) or behavioral health records (including mental health, emotional, or substance use disorder treatment records). The registration system will maintain a public registry with broker contact details, opt-out mechanisms, and information about data handling, including special provisions for minors' data. This directly affects businesses that collect and sell personal health information without a direct relationship to the individual.
