This bill amends Section 3 of P.L.2021, c.371 (C.47:1B-3) to exempt certain personal information from redaction and nondisclosure requirements in filings related to election-related financing. Specifically, it adds a new exception for reports concerning campaign contributions and expenditures that must be filed with the Election Law Enforcement Commission by individuals, candidates, campaigns, committees, or other entities under The New Jersey Campaign Contributions and Expenditures Reporting Act. This means that such reports will not be subject to the same redaction or nondisclosure protections that apply to other personal information of public officials and employees.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that unredacted information may be shared with vendors, contractors, or organizations for the purposes of agreements made with public agencies, and it allows for the unredacted provision of information upon court order. The bill also includes a provision that the Director of the Division of Taxation may issue necessary guidance or regulations to implement these changes. Overall, the bill aims to enhance transparency in election-related financing by allowing public access to certain financial reports while maintaining protections for other personal information.
