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 authorized land surveying firms to access unredacted records in the ordinary course of their business, thereby facilitating their work while still adhering to privacy protections.

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 concerning the use of unredacted records in line with the privacy standards set by Daniels Law. This regulatory authority aims to ensure that the balance between public record accessibility and individual privacy is maintained, while also accommodating the operational needs of land surveyors in New Jersey.
