Bill > S2096

Introduced Session

This bill requires a records custodian to redact any personal identifying information of a person under the age of 18 years prior to allowing access to any government record, subject to certain exceptions in statutory law. The bill excludes that information from the definition of a "government record," and excludes the name of persons under the age of 18 years from disclosure in certain personnel and pension records. The information would still be subject to disclosure when used by a government agency, court, or law enforcement agency in carrying out its functions; when used by a private person or entity seeking to enforce payment of court-ordered child support; when circumstances involve the disclosure of driver information by the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission under N.J.S.A.39:2-3.4; and when the information involves a social security number contained in a record required by law to be made, maintained or kept on file, if disclosure is not otherwise prohibited by law.
