Requires use of email for certain community notification under Megan's Law.
This bill requires New Jersey's Attorney General to offer email notifications when sex offenders update their registration information (like moving to a new county or zip code) on the public registry. Individuals can request email alerts for up to three specific counties or zip codes where they live or are concerned. The email notifications supplement, but do not replace, existing community notification methods under Megan's Law. The bill aims to provide a more convenient and direct way for residents to receive updates about local sex offender registrations.
