S 1472 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

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

This bill creates an Office of Information Privacy within New Jersey's Department of Community Affairs to manage requests for redacting home addresses from public records. It directly affects judicial officers, law enforcement officers, child protective investigators, prosecutors, and their immediate family members living in the same household. The key mechanism establishes a secure online portal where authorized individuals (like family members or designees) can request or revoke redaction of covered persons' home addresses, bypassing standard public disclosure requirements. The office will handle these requests, evaluate exceptions, and provide clear guidance on the redaction process. This change aims to enhance privacy protections for these public safety workers and their families by streamlining how their home addresses are handled in public records.
