Makes it a fourth degree crime to engage in certain tracking and location activities.

This New Jersey bill (S 549) makes it a fourth-degree crime to secretly install or use electronic tracking devices or apps to monitor someone's location without their consent, punishable by up to 18 months in prison or a $10,000 fine. It specifically targets unauthorized tracking for unlawful purposes, with key exemptions for parents tracking minor children, employers monitoring work vehicles (with required notice), and businesses disclosing location data in privacy policies. The law creates a legal presumption that secret tracking is intended for unlawful acts like stalking or harassment. Government use of tracking equipment is explicitly exempt from the law.
