Bill > S3409

Introduced Session

Under current law, certain public officials and employees, such as judges and law enforcement officers, are entitled to have their home address redacted or subject to nondisclosure when a public agency has possession of such information. However, there are certain exceptions when an individual's information may still be disclosed, even if they are otherwise entitled to redaction or nondisclosure. This bill would add to the list of exceptions: (1) recall petitions circulated and signed in this State; (2) any report of campaign contributions or expenditures filed by any individual, candidate, campaign, committee, or other entity under "The New Jersey Campaign Contributions and Expenditures Reporting Act," or any report or list of such contributions submitted by an entity seeking or holding a public contract; (3) any financial disclosure statement made by a candidate for Governor; and (4) any report of activities required to be submitted by a lobbyist or governmental affairs agent in this State. This bill would also require the director of the Office of Information Privacy to identify and display all exceptions on the secure portal where individuals can request the redaction or nondisclosure of their information.
