New Jersey A1211 would make it unlawful to record a phone call or other conversation unless all parties consent.

New Jersey A1211 would change the state's wiretapping law to require the consent of all parties to a conversation before it can be recorded. Currently, New Jersey allows recording if one party consents, making it a "one-party consent" state. This bill would make it an "all-party consent" state, aligning with 11 other states. Violation of the wiretapping law would be a crime of the third degree, punishable by a term of imprisonment of three to five years, a fine of up to $15,000, or both.
