S 3714 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes government records internet database; appropriates $10 million.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Community Affairs to create a public internet database containing government records from all state and local agencies (including departments, commissions, and authorities). It appropriates $10 million from the State General Fund to implement the database, with the Commissioner determining which records are included and whether they remain in their original format or are converted to a more user-friendly version - balancing public accessibility against conversion costs. The database must be accessible to the public, and the bill takes effect 180 days after enactment. This directly affects state and local government agencies responsible for submitting records and the public seeking government information.
