On June 30, 2026, New Jersey enacted legislation A5328 (P.L.2026, c.25), which will expose a broad swath of U.S. companies to data broker registration fees ranging from $5,000 to $1.5 million annually. The new legislation is not limited to data brokers in the conventional sense. It applies generally to any company that sells or licenses personal data of New Jersey residents, including those with direct customer relationships. Much of the law takes effect immediately, so companies should begin reviewing the requirements now to comply.
