A 2062 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Prohibits disclosure of personal information pertaining to certain health care workers who are victims of assault; establishes civil penalty for each violation.

This bill prohibits disclosing the name and address of health care workers who are assaulted by patients or residents at health care facilities. It directly affects licensed health care workers, direct care staff at psychiatric hospitals, developmental centers, or veterans' homes, when the assault occurs during their duties. The law requires that these details be redacted from court documents, complaints, or reports, and makes unauthorized public disclosure a civil violation punishable by a $100 penalty per document. It aims to protect workers from further retaliation while maintaining public access to other case details.
