Overview
This bill prohibits New Jersey’s financial institutions – such as banks and credit unions – from penalizing individuals for expressing their views, particularly when using the institution’s services. It aims to safeguard free speech rights by preventing financial penalties based on a consumer’s constitutionally protected speech. The bill also establishes a process for the Commissioner of Banking and Insurance to enforce these protections, including civil penalties for violations.
