A 3609 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Expands protections under "Daniel's Law"; requires Office of Information Privacy to establish portal for prohibiting disclosure of personal information by private entities and establishes penalties for failure to comply.

This bill expands "Daniel's Law" in New Jersey to protect specific public officials and their families by requiring private entities to prevent online disclosure of their home addresses and unpublished phone numbers. It mandates the Office of Information Privacy to create a portal where authorized representatives (like family members or legal agents) can request removal of such information from public online sources. Private entities that fail to comply after receiving a valid request face criminal penalties: a fourth-degree crime for reckless violations or a third-degree crime for intentional violations. The law specifically covers judicial officers, law enforcement, child protective investigators, prosecutors, legislators, and their immediate family members living in the same household.
