Requires entities to remove abandoned lines and mark information on certain lines.*

Maddy summaryThis bill requires telecommunications and cable companies, as well as other entities owning lines, to remove abandoned lines (defined as those not used for 24 consecutive months or not maintained safely) and mark lines attached to buildings with their ownership details. It mandates that entities either correct or remove abandoned lines within 12 months of the bill's effective date and mark new or existing unmarked lines on structures with their name or identifier. Property owners and the Board of Utilities can request removal of suspected abandoned lines, with entities required to respond within five business days. The law applies specifically to above-ground lines used for telecommunications or cable service, excluding certain connected lines in residential/commercial areas.

Requires notification to consumers of collection and disclosure of personal data by certain entities.*

Maddy summaryNew Jersey's S 332 requires commercial websites and online services (like e-commerce platforms) to clearly notify consumers about how their personal data is collected and shared. Specifically, operators must disclose on their websites the categories of personal information they collect (e.g., names, email addresses) and the types of third parties with whom they may share this data. The law exempts standard business practices like sharing data with service providers for order processing or complying with legal requests. It directly affects businesses operating in New Jersey that collect consumer data online, aiming to increase transparency about data handling.
