Overview
This bill requires New Jersey’s State Police and local police departments to create and follow a protocol for managing social media posts about missing persons and wanted individuals. Specifically, it mandates the removal of these posts within six months of a wanted person’s arrest or charges being dismissed, or a missing person being found. The goal is to prevent outdated information from causing potential harm to individuals, such as impacting employment opportunities.
