Bill Summary

Exempts certain health information contained in 9-1-1 calls from definition of government record.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing New Jersey law to exempt certain health information contained within 9-1-1 calls from being considered a "government record," which is defined as any document or information kept by a public agency in the course of its official business. Specifically, the bill adds an exemption for any part of a 9-1-1 audio recording or transcript that reveals a person's health status, medical conditions, treatments received, medical history, genetic information, or health insurance details. This change aims to protect sensitive personal health information shared during emergency calls, ensuring it is not subject to public disclosure under the state's open records laws.
