Bill overview
This bill protects New Jersey employers from being sued for disclosing certain information about current or former employees to prospective employers or authorized parties. It allows employers to share details like an employee’s name, job title, compensation, and reason for leaving, as well as information about their work history and workplace accidents, provided they act in good faith. The bill also extends this protection to disclosures required by federal, state, or industry regulators, with a presumption of good faith unless proven otherwise through clear and convincing evidence of malicious intent.
