S 4963 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits sharing automated license plate reader information for interstate investigation concerning reproductive health care services that are legal in NJ.

This bill prohibits New Jersey law enforcement and anyone using automated license plate readers (ALPRs) from sharing ALPR data with out-of-state agencies for investigations targeting reproductive health services legal in New Jersey. It specifically bans sharing information related to services like pregnancy care, contraception, or abortion (where permitted under NJ law) to prevent cross-state enforcement actions. Law enforcement must obtain a written assurance from other states that the data won’t be used to penalize providers or patients for these legal services. Violations carry civil penalties up to $5,000 for repeat offenses, and the bill defines "reproductive health care services" broadly to include all related medical, surgical, and counseling support. The law directly affects ALPR users, NJ law enforcement, and out-of-state agencies seeking to investigate reproductive health access within New Jersey.
