S 4439 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires certain information regarding juvenile charged with act of delinquency to be disclosed to public.

This bill modifies New Jersey laws to require the public disclosure of specific information regarding juveniles charged with acts of delinquency. While it maintains strict confidentiality for most private records like medical and psychological files, it mandates that details about the juvenile's identity, the offense, and the court's decision be shared with victims, their families, and law enforcement upon request. Additionally, the bill allows limited access to police reports for potential civil plaintiffs involved in lawsuits related to the juvenile's actions, provided personal information about others is redacted. The legislation also permits the release of a juvenile's identity to the public if there is an active arrest warrant for a crime that would be considered an adult offense.
