A 5144 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires State Police to develop public database of criminally charged or convicted undocumented immigrants.

This bill, known as the "Right to Know Act," mandates that the New Jersey State Police create a public database listing undocumented immigrants who have been criminally charged or convicted. The list would specifically include individuals currently held in state, county, or municipal correctional facilities who lack valid legal documentation to be in the United States. For each person included, the database would display their photograph, the specific crime they are charged with or convicted of, and the location and date of their release from custody. The legislation requires the State Police to maintain this publicly accessible list immediately upon enactment.
