AR 53 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes Assembly Select Committee on COVID-19 Contact Tracing Data Privacy.

This bill establishes the Assembly Select Committee on COVID-19 Contact Tracing Data Privacy to examine how New Jersey collects and uses contact tracing data during the pandemic. The committee will study specific issues including data types collected, privacy protections, storage protocols, usage restrictions, data retention periods, and destruction methods. It must produce a report with recommendations to the legislature within 60 days of organizing, focusing on balancing public health needs with individual privacy rights. The committee will dissolve after submitting its report, and the resolution expires 30 days later. This procedural resolution does not enact new laws but creates a temporary body to review existing data practices.
