Introduced Session

This bill expands "Daniel's Law," P.L.2020, c.125, to prohibit the disclosure of personal information of members of the New Jersey Legislature. Under the bill, "member of the legislature" means any person elected or selected to serve in the New Jersey Senate or General Assembly. 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 members of the legislature. This bill is in response to the violent attacks, on June 13, 2025, against two Minnesota state lawmakers, Melissa Hortman and John Hoffman, and their immediately family members, at their home.
