The "Uniform Criminal Records Accuracy Act."

This New Jersey bill (A 956) requires state agencies involved in criminal justice to maintain accurate criminal records and track how those records are shared. It mandates that agencies create public logs for every record request, including who requested it, when, and why, and correct any inaccuracies within 14 days. The law directly affects individuals whose records are maintained (the "subjects") and agencies like courts, police departments, and correctional facilities that handle criminal history data. Key provisions include requiring agencies to submit biometric data within 5 days and notify other agencies of corrections within a year. The bill focuses on transparency and accuracy in record-keeping, not on changing criminal penalties or new legal standards.
