OPRA

To file an OPRA (Open Public Record Act) Request you may do so online, by clicking here.

Effective September 3, 2024, P.L. 2024, c. 16 requires all agencies subject to OPRA to “adopt the form established by the Government Records Council . . . for the use of any person who requests access to a government record held or controlled by the public agency.” N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5(f).

In accordance with this new requirement, the Government Records Council (“GRC”) has established an updated version of the old "Model OPRA request form" to include the following required items:

  1. Certifiable statements addressing commercial purpose and pending litigation have been added to the “Requestor Information” box.
  2. New and amended exemptions have been added to the “Reasons for Denial” list, and
  3. The information page has been changed to reflect relevant new and amended provisions.

Requestors are not required to use an OPRA form, however, a written equivalent not containing the form requirement of N.J.S.A 47:1A-5(f) and N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5(g) may be denied by a custodian.
