A 2184 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires registration of data brokers and prohibits brokering of certain health records.

This bill requires data brokers (businesses that collect and sell personal details like names, addresses, or health information without a direct relationship with customers) to register annually with New Jersey's Division of Consumer Affairs for a $100 fee. Brokers must submit detailed information about their data practices, including opt-out options, data breach history, and policies for minors' data. Crucially, the bill prohibits brokers from selling, sharing, or transmitting any physical health records (e.g., doctor visits, treatments) or behavioral health records (e.g., mental health or substance use treatment details) to third parties. Violations carry penalties of $50 per day for registration failures or $1,000 per health record disclosed.
