Requires redaction and nondisclosure of home address of elected officials and candidates for elected office.
S 1274 would require New Jersey to redact home addresses of elected officials (like state legislators and mayors) and candidates running for office from public records. It amends the state's Open Public Records Act to explicitly add home addresses to the list of confidential information that must be withheld. This change means home addresses would automatically be removed from responses to public records requests. The bill directly affects all current and prospective state and local elected officials seeking public office.
