Introduced Session

The bill prohibits the disclosure of personal information of probation officers. Currently, various public officials who provide services in the criminal and civil justice system for this State and for other governmental entities are covered under Daniel's Law which: (1) prohibits the disclosure, by both governmental entities and private parties, of the home addresses of any active, formerly active, or retired federal, State, county, or municipal judicial officer, prosecutor, or law enforcement officer; (2) expands an existing crime concerning the disclosure of home addresses and unlisted telephone numbers for active or retired law enforcement officers to also cover formerly active law enforcement officers, as well as active, formerly active, or retired judicial officers or prosecutors; and (3) permits criminal prosecutions and statutory civil actions concerning any prohibited disclosure. This bill expands the scope of Daniel's law to probation officers. "probation officers" is defined as one defined by law or contract between the New Jersey State Judiciary and the Probation Association of New Jersey, including, but not limited to those employees who are in the following titles referred to in those contracts: Probation Officer, Senior Probation Officer, Master Probation Officer, Substance Abuse Evaluator, Family Court Coordinator, Assistant Child Placement Review Coordinator, or Bilingual Community Outreach Worker. The term also shall include all titles covered by Appendix A of the Professional Supervisory Unit, including but not limited to the informal title of Team Leader and Court Service Supervisor 1, Court Service Supervisor 2, and Court Service Supervisor 3.
