Bill overview
This bill makes it a fourth-degree crime in New Jersey to install or use electronic tracking devices or applications to secretly monitor someone’s location with the intent to facilitate an unlawful act. The bill defines ‘electronic tracking device’ and ‘tracking application’ and establishes exceptions for certain uses, such as parental monitoring of children, monitoring individuals at risk of harm, lawful business transactions, and consumer location data collection with proper disclosure. It also includes provisions regarding consent for tracking and how that consent can be revoked in specific circumstances, like domestic disputes.
