Exempts certain personal information and entities from certain requirments concerning notification and disclosure of personal data.
This bill (S 2956) exempts specific entities and types of personal data from New Jersey's privacy law requirements regarding notification and disclosure of personal data. It directly affects covered entities like healthcare providers under HIPAA, financial institutions under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, insurance companies, state agencies, consumer reporting agencies, and research organizations conducting federally compliant studies. Key provisions remove obligations for these entities to notify consumers or disclose data when handling information already regulated by federal law (e.g., health data under HIPAA, financial data under Gramm-Leach-Bliley, or credit data under FCRA). The bill was withdrawn on January 13, 2026, as it was already enacted as P.L.2025, c.367.
