NJ A3591

Installing or placing an electronic tracking device or tracking application to track another person's location in order to initiate or facilitate an unlawful act would be a fourth degree crime, punishable by up to 18 months imprisonment and/or a $10,000 fine

Surreptitious surveillance of another person using tracking devices or applications creates a permissive inference that the tracking was intended to facilitate unlawful acts such as stalking or harassment

Consent to be tracked is automatically presumed revoked when spouses, civil union partners, or domestic partners file for divorce/dissolution, or when either party files for a restraining order under domestic violence laws

Lawful exceptions include tracking by parents/guardians of minor children, monitoring persons with health conditions at risk of injury or death, tracking during legitimate business transactions, employer tracking of employees during work, and business collection of consumer location data with proper disclosure

State and local government entities and their equipment are exempt from the criminal provisions of this bill
