Pete asked during the DOIT manager’s meeting 10/26 about any actions. Only Angela has been involved through the NJOIT pulling of parcel info. Angela maintains an internally available layer for staff use. Other governments had an issue with the loss of the publicly available sets.

There is an active tool https://danielslaw.nj.gov/Default.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2f for people to sign up to have the info redacted. Thousands have signed up. Agencies will soon be getting and must figure out how to find and redact all the records for those signed up (Phase 2). A series of meetings on phase 2 to commence and expecting to include OPRA leads. DOIT probably wants a representative there to hear the issues.

Could be a lot of sources to be scoured including Dataminer reports, Highview images. We will need to keep our original data and mask it to the public.

Kurt suggests a x-ref database of IDs tied to people info, and then check this DB and block those with th hit when serving info.
