Requires Internet dating services to conduct criminal record screenings upon request and consent of members.
S 3597 requires Internet dating services operating in New Jersey to conduct criminal record screenings upon a member's request and with the consent of the person being screened. The bill mandates that services provide clear safety information to users and disclose their screening policies, including whether they perform automatic checks or not, using bold, large text on signup pages and profiles. Services must also explain that screenings only cover public records, aren't foolproof, and don't include all offenses or foreign convictions. This directly affects New Jersey users and the dating platforms they use, focusing on transparency about safety measures.
