Bill Summary
Under current law, certain public officials and employees, such as judges and law enforcement officers, are entitled to have their personal information redacted or subject to nondisclosure when such information is present on a public record. However, there are certain exceptions when an individual's personal information may still be disclosed, even if they are otherwise entitled to redaction or nondisclosure. This bill would add reports required to be filed with the Election Law Enforcement Commission regarding election-related financing to the list of current exceptions. This exception would apply to all reports filed by any individual, candidate, campaign, committee, or other entity under "The New Jersey Campaign Contributions and Expenditures Reporting Act."
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to add reports filed with the Election Law Enforcement Commission concerning election-related financing to a list of exceptions where personal information, typically protected from redaction and nondisclosure for public officials and employees, can be disclosed. Specifically, it ensures that any reports filed under "The New Jersey Campaign Contributions and Expenditures Reporting Act," which covers campaign finance information from individuals, candidates, campaigns, committees, and other entities, will not have this financial information redacted or kept secret, even if the filer would otherwise be entitled to such protections. This change aims to increase transparency in election financing by making these specific financial reports publicly accessible.
