NJ A3348

Amends N.J.S.2C:30-2 to make official misconduct involving disclosure of a domestic violence or sexual assault victim's personal information a second degree crime, regardless of the monetary value of any benefit involved.

Under current law, official misconduct drops from second degree to third degree when the benefit value is $200 or less; this bill eliminates that reduction for cases involving victim information disclosure.

Second degree crimes carry penalties of 5 to 10 years imprisonment and fines up to $150,000, compared to third degree penalties of 3 to 5 years and fines up to $15,000.

Defines "personal information" broadly to include name, Social Security number, address, telephone number, driver's license number, passport number, physical characteristics, employment history, and financial information.

Applies to public servants who knowingly commit unauthorized acts or fail to perform required duties with intent to benefit themselves or others, or to harm another person.
