A 2257 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Expands "Daniel's Law" to prohibit disclosure of personal identifying information of victim support advocates and victim support care providers.

This bill expands New Jersey's "Daniel's Law" to protect victim support advocates and victim support care providers by prohibiting the online disclosure of their home addresses and unpublished phone numbers. It requires individuals or entities sharing such information online to remove it upon written notice from an authorized person (like a family member or legal representative). The law imposes criminal penalties for reckless or intentional violations but exempts news media from liability for past publications or directory listings where protection was requested. This directly affects victim support professionals by enhancing their privacy protections against online harassment risks.
