A 2503 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Prohibits disclosure of certain information of probation officers.

This bill (A 2503) would amend New Jersey's open records law to prohibit the disclosure of specific personal information about probation officers. It directly affects probation officers by adding their personal details - such as name, address, contact information, and employment records - to the list of confidential government records that cannot be publicly accessed under state law. The key mechanism requires public agencies to treat this information as exempt from disclosure requests, similar to other protected categories like victim records or security procedures. The bill does not change how probation officers perform their duties but limits public access to their personal data. It is currently pending in the Assembly Judiciary Committee after introduction on January 13, 2026.
