Bill Summary

This bill directs the Attorney General to establish and maintain the New Jersey Internet Criminal Information Registry. The names and information relating to persons who have been convicted of certain violent crimes would be placed on the registry and would be available to the public on the Internet. A conviction of any one of the following crimes would result in a person's placement on the registry: murder; aggravated manslaughter or manslaughter; vehicular homicide; disarming a law enforcement officer; kidnapping, except for convictions for which a person is required to register pursuant to Megan's law; robbery; carjacking; aggravated arson; burglary; extortion; booby traps in manufacturing or distribution facilities; strict liability for drug induced deaths; terrorism; producing or possessing chemical weapons, biological agents or nuclear or radiological devices; racketeering when it is a crime of the first degree; firearms trafficking; or any crime of the first or second degree involving serious bodily injury. The registry is to be subdivided into four categories: inmates; parolees; inmates participating in residential community release programs; and persons convicted of a substantially similar violent crime in a different jurisdiction, but paroled in New Jersey under the Interstate Corrections Compact. Registry information is to include the person's name, sentence, address or place of incarceration, release or parole discharge date, and criminal history. The bill specifies that upon release or discharge from parole, the person's name and all related information is to be immediately removed from the registry and no longer be available to the public. The bill also specifies that no action is to be brought against a real estate broker, broker-salesperson, salesperson, seller, or lessor for failure to investigate or disclose any information from the registry that is compiled or made available pursuant to the bill. Finally, the bill directs the Attorney General to use forfeiture funds to cover the costs of establishing and maintaining the registry.
