Prohibits posting, publishing on the Internet, or disclosing certain information regarding military personnel.
This bill prohibits posting or publishing on the Internet the home address or unpublished home telephone number of active-duty U.S. military members, New Jersey National Guard members, or their spouses/children. It makes reckless violations a fourth-degree crime (up to 18 months in prison or $10,000 fine) and purposeful violations a third-degree crime (3-5 years in prison or $15,000 fine). Government agencies must obtain written consent before posting such information, and businesses/individuals who disclose it under circumstances risking harassment face civil liability, including minimum $1,000 per violation in damages. The law directly affects military families and entities handling their personal data online.
