Overview
This bill, the "Transparency in Prosecutorial Communication Act," requires the New Jersey Attorney General to release updated press releases when investigations are completed. Currently, the Attorney General often only publishes initial press releases announcing an investigation, leaving the public without information about the investigation’s outcome. This legislation aims to provide greater public access to information regarding ongoing and concluded investigations by mandating the release of follow-up press releases detailing the results. It ensures the public is informed about the progression and conclusion of legal investigations.
