A 4669 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Prohibits solicitation of business based on death notices and obituaries.

This bill prohibits businesses from soliciting customers based on death notices or obituaries published within 90 days of publication. It directly affects companies that might contact families or tenants after a death, making such outreach an unlawful practice under New Jersey's consumer fraud laws. The law defines family members broadly to include relatives by blood, marriage, or adoption, and applies to both print and electronic publications. Violations can result in fines up to $10,000 for first offenses, higher penalties for repeat offenses, and additional remedies like cease and desist orders or treble damages.
