S 3605 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Expands "Daniel's Law" protections; requires Office of Information Privacy to establish portal for prohibiting disclosure of personal information by private entities and establishes penalties for failure to comply.

This bill expands New Jersey's "Daniel's Law" to protect the home addresses and unpublished phone numbers of certain public officials and their families. It requires the Office of Information Privacy to create a portal where authorized individuals (like family members or legal representatives) can request private entities - such as websites or businesses - to stop sharing this information online. Private entities that fail to comply face criminal penalties: reckless violations are fourth-degree crimes, and intentional violations are third-degree crimes. The law directly affects judicial officers, law enforcement personnel, child protective investigators, legislators, and their immediate family members living in the same household.
