40:48-2.67 List of municipal residents in need of special assistance.
1. The governing body of a municipality, by ordinance, may require the clerk of the municipality to maintain a list containing the names and addresses of municipal residents who identify themselves as being in need of special assistance in the event of an emergency, and who request that this information be maintained on their behalf, for public safety purposes. The list shall be cross-indexed by name and address of each resident requesting to be on the list, and shall identify the special circumstances of each individual. The clerk shall provide the list solely and strictly for the purposes of P.L.2017, c.266 (C.40:48-2.67 et al.) to the municipal police department, to each fire department or fire district serving the municipality, and to each first aid or rescue squad serving the municipality, and shall ensure that they are provided with updates at least monthly.
A notice to municipal residents advising them that such a list is being maintained by the clerk for public safety purposes shall be included annually with the tax bills mailed to local property taxpayers. The notice shall include information as to how a municipal resident may add his or her name and address to the municipal list.
The municipal clerk shall notify each landlord who has filed a certificate of registration with the municipality pursuant to section 2 of P.L.1974, c.50 (C.46:8-28) of the existence of the list, and shall provide the landlord with a copy of a notice to be provided to the landlord's tenants, including information as to how a tenant may be added to the list.
