Daniel's Law

If you are an active or retired Judge, Prosecutor or Law Enforcement Officer, the State of New Jersey passed Daniel's Law in late 2020 to "prohibit persons, State and local agencies, and businesses from posting or publishing on the Internet the home addresses or unpublished home telephone numbers of judges, or State, county, or municipal prosecutors regardless of whether they are retired or in the workforce".

If you believe that your property located in the Borough of Butler meets the OPRA exclusions of disclosure of your home address and published phone number under this law, please advise the Acting Municipal Clerk, Brandi Greco, by calling (973) 838-7200 ext. 226, so appropriate steps can be taken to ensure compliance with NJ A1649 “Daniel’s Law”.
