Requires State agency to redact person's handwritten signature prior to publishing documents on agency's Internet website.
This bill requires New Jersey state agencies to remove handwritten signatures from any document they publish on their official websites, starting from the bill's effective date. It also mandates that agencies archive existing documents displaying handwritten signatures published before the bill takes effect and allows them to republish those documents after redacting the signatures. The law ensures public access to archived documents through the Open Public Records Act, preserving transparency while protecting personal information. The bill takes effect 180 days after enactment.
