DANIEL’S LAW

On November 20, 2020, Governor Murphy signed Daniel’s Law (P.L. 2020, c.125) into law. Daniel’s Law provides a means for active and retired federal and State court judges, prosecutors, and law enforcement members to request the redaction of certain personal information from public-facing State, County, and municipal websites. In addition, the State of New Jersey’s Department of Community Affairs has established a Daniels Law Portal to streamline the implementation process.
