This bill amends current New Jersey law to allow certain individuals, specifically those defined as "covered persons" under Daniels Law, to use a post office box or an alternative address on their driver's licenses and identification cards. Covered persons include active, former, or retired judicial officers, law enforcement officers, child protective investigators, prosecutors, and their immediate family members. The bill stipulates that while a street address is still required for applications and renewals, exceptions can be made for those who have had their applications for redaction or nondisclosure approved, or for individuals deemed to have good cause by the Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission.

The legislation clarifies that both driver's licenses and identification cards must contain the street address of the applicant's residence, but allows for the inclusion of a post office box or alternative address as a mailing address under specific circumstances. This change aims to enhance privacy protections for individuals who may be at risk due to their professions or personal circumstances, ensuring a consistent application of these protections across state agencies.
