Prohibits soliciting or phishing for personal identifying information.

S 567 prohibits soliciting or inducing others to share personal identifying information (like Social Security numbers, credit card details, or biometric data) for the purpose of identity theft, fraud, or harm. It defines "personal identifying information" broadly using existing New Jersey law, covering details such as names, addresses, birth dates, and financial account numbers. Violating this law would be a disorderly persons offense, punishable by up to six months in jail, a $1,000 fine, or both. The bill directly affects individuals or entities attempting to obtain such information through deceptive means, aiming to prevent identity theft schemes. The bill was introduced in the New Jersey Senate on January 9, 2024, and referred to the Commerce Committee.
