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.
S 2783 expands Daniel's Law protections to cover judicial officers, law enforcement personnel, child protective investigators, state legislators, and their immediate family members living in the same household. It requires New Jersey's Office of Information Privacy to create a portal where these individuals can request private entities (like websites or businesses) to stop publishing their home addresses or unpublished phone numbers online. Private entities must comply within 45 business days or face criminal penalties (up to a third-degree crime for intentional violations). The law exempts news media from liability for past publications and directory services if the individual requested removal before deadlines.
