Good morning,
The OPRA request below has been denied as the records requested are inter-agency communications of an advisory/consultative/deliberative nature. As such, these materials are exempt from production under OPRA. See NJSA 47:1A-1.1 defining "government record" to exclude materials of inter-agency communications that are of an advisory/consultative/deliberative nature.
Thank you.
