S 4793 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires redaction of certain personal identifying information on vehicle accident reports.

This bill requires New Jersey government agencies to redact personal identifying information, such as names, addresses, and driver's license numbers, from vehicle accident reports before releasing them to the public. It limits access to unredacted reports to individuals involved in the accident, their attorneys, auto insurance companies representing a party, and law enforcement agencies. Authorized recipients must use unredacted information only for legal, insurance, or investigatory purposes and cannot publicly disclose it without written consent from all involved parties. The bill imposes escalating civil penalties for unauthorized disclosure, starting at $1,000 for a first offense. Agencies must maintain logs of unredacted report disclosures for potential investigations.
