S 2121 protects the personal information of healthcare workers who are assaulted by patients or residents at healthcare facilities. It prohibits disclosing a worker’s name, address, or identity in public court documents (like indictments or complaints) if the worker was providing direct patient care and falls into one of three categories: employed at a licensed facility, licensed under Titles 26 or 45, or working at a psychiatric hospital or veterans' facility. The bill requires such information to be redacted or replaced with initials/fictional names in all public records. Violating this rule is a disorderly persons offense punishable by up to six months in jail or a $1,000 fine.
