Message from the President Re: Daniel's Law

by mcanj-members＠lists.cit-e.net

Please be advised that amendments to Daniel’s Law are expected to adopted soon and it is important you take note. Here is a brief general summary: Daniel’s Law is designed to limit the disclosure of the home addresses of judicial officers, prosecutors, and law enforcement officers as well as immediate family members of each residing in the same household. Recent amendments under A6171<https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fwww.njleg.state.nj.us%2…>/S4219<https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fwww.njleg.state.nj.us%2…> which is expected to be enacted soon, creates a process to implement Daniel’s Law which will be administered by the director of a new “Office of Information Privacy” (OIP) within the Department of Community Affairs (DCA). The OIP Director “shall be appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Commissioner of Community Affairs” and will oversee the review and implementation process. Under the new procedure, an eligible person must make an application through a state web portal in order to request protection under the law. (The legislature created a process for this, including providing funding and authorizing the state to hire a consultant to create a web-based portal for submission of requests.) The OIP Director will receive, review and either approve or deny all applications. Once approved, “[a] public agency shall redact or cease to disclose…the home address of a covered person approved by the Office of Information Privacy not later than 30 days following the approval.” Certain notices will be impacted and the person requesting redaction “shall affirm in writing that the person understands that certain rights, duties, and obligations are affected as a result of the request, including” notices for development applications under the Municipal Land Use Law; election petitions and other materials; homes sales, lien, encumbrance and other real estate recordings; class action notifications; and other “legal, promotional, or official notice which would otherwise be provided to the person…” The Department of Banking and Insurance is also empowered to issue rules and regulations within eighteen months consistent with the new law. The law forbids local government agencies from “knowingly” engaging in the “post, repost, publish or republish on the Internet of the home address” of someone who has applied and been approved by DCA under the law. Anyone who violates the law knowingly is liable for a $1,000 fine plus reasonable attorney’s fees and punitive damages. This is a general summary and is not legal advice nor should you rely on this in any way in taking any action. Please consult with your municipal attorney for further specific advice.

New Regulations - Cottage Food Permits

by mcanj-members＠lists.cit-e.net

This is sent for educational purposes in MCANJ’s ongoing effort to help you stay abreast of governmental policy changes and to do your work to the best of your abilities. This is not legal advice and does not substitute for your own research and evaluation of these issues as they apply in your municipal setting. If you have any questions about this, legal matters or any other concerns, please contact your municipal attorney or the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs. Thank you for your support of and involvement in MCANJ. Kim-Marie White, President MCANJ “New rules creating a cottage food operator (home baker) permit became effective as of October 4, 2021. New Jersey historically prohibited the sale of home baked goods but has now joined other states in allowing cottage food operations. The Department has been working on this issue for some time and carefully balanced allowing home bakers to operate small businesses while instituting appropriate safeguards. While developing these new regulations, the Department received input from many stakeholders, including local health departments, home bakers, the retail food industry, and others.” Basically, an applicant will submit an application to the New Jersey Department of Health, Public Health and Food Protection Program. A copy of the application and instructions are attached for informational purposes only. There is nothing that a municipality must do in terms of receiving, reviewing, and/or approving these applications. The regulations are found at N.J.A.C. 8:24–11.1 to 11.8. There are no municipal requirements or approvals needed, except that the regulations state for an applicant, “An applicant for a cottage food operator permit shall ascertain and comply with applicable local laws of the municipality in which the applicant seeks to operate a cottage food operation.” So, if you should have any residents approach your office with an application or questions about the application process the correct response to the residents is that the municipality has no oversight or authority for the Cottage Food Permits and the residents should be directed to the contact the Department of Health. https://www.nj.gov/health/ceohs/phfpp/retailfood/cottagefood.shtml<https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fwww.nj.gov%2fhealth%2fc…> MCANJ Website Manager WebsiteManager(a)MCANJ.US
