Daniel's Law for Redactors
In November 2020, Governor Murphy signed Daniel’s Law, which amended the Open Public
Records Act (OPRA) and other statutes protecting personal information for certain
persons in public service. Specifically, Daniel’s Law is designed to expand protections
from public exposure for personal information about active and retired judges, law
enforcement officers, and prosecutors, and their immediate family members. Redactors appointed at state, county and municipal government levels are responsible for carrying out these protections.
