Daniel's Law
A category of state statutes requiring data brokers to expedite removal of home address information for judges, prosecutors, law enforcement officers, and related family members.
Full definition
Daniel's Law refers to statutes modelled on New Jersey's original law (P.L. 2020, c. 125), passed after the 2020 murder of Daniel Anderl at the home of his mother, federal Judge Esther Salas. The statute requires data brokers to remove home address information within 10 business days upon request from a covered person. California, Colorado, Maryland, and a growing number of states have Daniel's Law-equivalents. The federal Daniel Anderl Judicial Security and Privacy Act (2022) covers federal judges and court staff nationally.
