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 public servants, to include municipal court administrators and deputy administrators. The law, which already prohibits the disclosure of personal information for judges, prosecutors, law enforcement officers, and child protective investigators, will now also shield the home addresses and unlisted phone numbers of municipal court administrators and their immediate family members from being published online or elsewhere. This expansion aims to enhance the safety and security of these individuals, allowing them to perform their duties without fear of reprisal.
