Overview
This bill makes it a fourth-degree crime in New Jersey to secretly track or determine a person's location using electronic tracking devices or tracking applications. It defines these terms and outlines specific circumstances where such tracking would be considered lawful, including parental tracking of minors, monitoring individuals at risk, and consent-based tracking. The bill also establishes a legal presumption that surreptitious surveillance with tracking devices is intended to facilitate an unlawful act, such as stalking. Finally, it exempts state and local government entities from these tracking restrictions.
