Prohibits, under certain circumstances, disclosure of certain personal identifying information, including home address and photographic image, concerning any federal, State, or municipal judicial officer, or that judicial officer's immediate family members.
New Jersey bill A 2662 prohibits the online posting or publishing of personal identifying information - such as home addresses, photos, or names - about judicial officers (including federal, state, and municipal judges) or their immediate family members, when done with intent to cause harassment or harm, or in reckless disregard of such risk. It makes violations criminal offenses (third degree for intentional acts, fourth degree for reckless acts) and allows victims to sue for at least $1,000 per violation plus damages and attorney fees. The law also requires state/local government agencies to obtain written permission before sharing such information about judges or family members online. It directly affects judges, their households, and anyone publishing online content that could endanger them.
