A 2701 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Expands "Daniel's Law" to prohibit disclosure of personal information of members of NJ Legislature.

This bill expands New Jersey's "Daniel's Law" to specifically protect members of the state legislature (and their immediate family members living in the same household) by prohibiting the online disclosure of their home addresses and unpublished phone numbers. It requires anyone posting such information to remove it within 10 business days upon receiving written notice from an authorized person (like a family member or legal representative). Violating this prohibition can result in criminal charges, ranging from a fourth-degree crime for reckless actions to a third-degree crime for intentional violations. The law explicitly exempts news media from liability for previously published information and does not apply to telephone directories if the covered person requested non-publication.
