S 562 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires redaction and nondisclosure of home address of elected officials and candidates for elected office.

S 562 requires that home addresses of elected officials and candidates for public office be redacted from public records and not disclosed to the public. The bill amends New Jersey's Open Public Records Act to classify home addresses as confidential information, meaning they must be removed from any government documents or records. This directly affects all elected officials (such as state legislators and local government leaders) and candidates running for office. The policy change aims to protect privacy and safety by preventing home addresses from being publicly accessible.
