Establishes Open Public Records Act Study Commission.
This bill establishes the Open Public Records Act (OPRA) Study Commission to evaluate New Jersey's 2001 open records law. The 11-member commission - including government officials, media representatives, municipal staff, privacy experts, and attorneys - will review OPRA's implementation, including how it balances public access with privacy rights and addresses commercial requests. The commission will hold public hearings, analyze technology impacts, compare other states' laws, and make recommendations to improve OPRA's effectiveness. It does not change current law but aims to assess whether OPRA achieves its goal of transparent government as intended.
