Creates searchable website for certain records available through open public records request.
This bill creates a single, searchable website for certain government records that are available through New Jersey's Open Public Records Act. The website, administered by the Department of Community Affairs, will allow the public to search for records like meeting minutes and reports by agency, date, keyword, or record type. Local governments (political subdivisions) must upload eligible one-time or periodic records to the website within two years of the bill's effective date, after a six-month testing period. The website aims to reduce duplication of work for agencies and provide the public with easier access to government documents, while exempting records like emails and correspondence that would require excessive effort to upload.
