This bill amends Daniels Law (P.L.2021, c.371) to provide specific exemptions for licensed land surveyors regarding property record redaction requirements. Under the current law, certain public officials can request that their home addresses be redacted from public records, but there are exceptions for necessary business transactions. The bill introduces provisions that allow licensed land surveyors and land surveying firms to access unredacted records in the ordinary course of their business, thereby facilitating their professional activities without compromising the privacy protections established by Daniels Law.

Additionally, the bill empowers the Director of the Division of Taxation, the Commissioner of Banking and Insurance, the New Jersey Real Estate Commission, and the State Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors to issue regulations regarding the use of unredacted records while ensuring compliance with the privacy protections of Daniels Law. This legislative change aims to balance the need for privacy for certain public officials with the operational needs of land surveyors in their professional duties.
