The New Jersey State Bar Association recommends amendments to A-4723/S-2740, which would require motor vehicle dealers to offer to delete personal information in motor vehicles in certain situations. The NJSBA supports the aim of this bill as an important step in protecting the privacy rights of consumers by imposing an obligation upon automobile dealers that take ownership and/or possession of used automobiles to remove personally identifiable information (PII).

The NJSBA has reached out to the sponsors to request consideration of recommendations to strengthen consumer privacy, including notification to the consumer, timelines for removal of PII and other such protections. We look forward to working with the sponsors on this bill.
