A 3490 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Exempts personal information from redaction and nondisclosure requirements in certain public filings and records.

This bill creates a new Office of Information Privacy within New Jersey's Department of Community Affairs to manage home address privacy for specific public officials. It exempts the home addresses of judicial officers, law enforcement officers, child protective investigators, prosecutors, and their immediate family members from standard public record redaction rules. The office will operate a secure portal allowing authorized representatives (like family members or legal guardians) to request or revoke address privacy, with clear processes for handling these requests and exceptions. This changes how home addresses appear in public records for these covered groups, balancing privacy needs with access for election officials, legal challenges, and other specified circumstances. The bill is currently in the introduction stage (2026-01-13).
