Bill Summary
This bill amends "Daniel's Law," P.L.2021, c.371, concerning the privacy of home addresses of certain public officials, to provide an exemption for licensed land surveyors. Under "Daniel's Law," certain public officials such as judges, prosecutors, law enforcement officers, and child protective investigators, may request that their home addresses be redacted or withheld from disclosure from certain public records, such as property deeds and tax maps. However, the law provides for certain exceptions where the address is necessary to facilitate certain business transactions, such as mortgages and real estate sales. The Director of the Division of Taxation may promulgate regulations concerning the use of unredacted records in conformity with the privacy protections of "Daniel's Law." Under the bill, land surveyors licensed in this State or land surveying firms authorized to operate in this State would be allowed to receive unredacted records when requested in the ordinary course of business. The bill additionally allows the Commissioner of Banking and Insurance, the New Jersey Real Estate Commission, and the State Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors to also promulgate regulations concerning the use of unredacted records in conformity with the privacy protections of "Daniel's Law."
AI Summary
This bill amends "Daniel's Law," which allows certain public officials like judges and law enforcement officers to request that their home addresses be kept private from public records such as property deeds, by creating an exemption for licensed land surveyors and land surveying firms. Under the existing law, while addresses are generally redacted, there are exceptions for situations necessary for business transactions, and the Director of the Division of Taxation can create rules for using unredacted records. This bill specifically allows licensed land surveyors and authorized land surveying businesses to receive unredacted records when needed for their ordinary business operations, and also permits the Commissioner of Banking and Insurance, the New Jersey Real Estate Commission, and the State Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors to issue regulations regarding the use of these unredacted records in compliance with privacy protections.
