New Jersey A1390, "Sebastien's Law," revises window guard requirements in multiple dwellings.

New Jersey A1390, also known as "Sebastien's Law," revises the requirements for window guards in certain multiple dwellings. The bill shifts the policy from an opt-in to an opt-out system, meaning landlords must install window guards unless tenants specifically waive this requirement in writing. This change applies to dwellings where children aged 10 or younger reside or will reside. Tenants can still request window guards at any time.
