Bill Summary

This bill expands "Daniel's Law," P.L.2020, c.125 (C.56:8-166.2 et al.), to prohibit the disclosure of personal information of municipal court administrators. The bill defines a municipal court administrator as a person employed by a county or municipality in accordance with subsection a. of N.J.S.A.2B:12-10 and includes an employee designated as an acting or deputy administrator in accordance with subsection b. of N.J.S.A.2B:12-10. Currently, Daniel's Law: (1) prohibits the disclosure, by both governmental entities and private parties, of the home address of any active, formerly active, or retired federal, State, county, or municipal judicial officers, prosecutors, law enforcement officers, or child protective investigators and employees of the Department of Children and Families; (2) prohibits disclosure of home addresses and unlisted telephone numbers for active or retired law enforcement officers, child protective investigators and employees of the Department of Children and Families, as well as active, formerly active, or retired judicial officers or prosecutors; and (3) permits criminal prosecution and statutory civil action concerning prohibited disclosures. The bill expands the scope of Daniel's Law to also include municipal court administrators and deputy administrators.

AI Summary

This bill expands "Daniel's Law," a law designed to protect the personal information of certain public officials, to include municipal court administrators and deputy court administrators. The law, which currently prohibits the disclosure of home addresses and unlisted phone numbers for individuals like judges, law enforcement officers, and child protective investigators, will now also protect this information for municipal court administrators. This means that government entities and private parties will be prohibited from sharing the personal information of these court administrators, and violations can lead to criminal prosecution and civil action, aiming to enhance their safety and security while they perform their duties.
