Prohibits release of personal identifying information of violent crime victims and witnesses under State's open public records law.

This bill (A 3226) prohibits public agencies from releasing personal identifying information of violent crime victims and witnesses under New Jersey's open records law. It directly affects law enforcement agencies, courts, and other public bodies that maintain records, by requiring them to withhold specific details like names, addresses, phone numbers, Social Security numbers, and social media handles. Key provisions add "personal identifying information of a violent crime victim or witness" to the list of confidential records, explicitly defining protected details to include home/work addresses, contact information, and identifiers. The bill does not change how crimes are prosecuted but limits public access to sensitive victim/witness data already held in official records.
