To Mr. Devine,
As the OPRA custodian, I am in receipt of your below email.
Please note, Local Government Ethics is a separate and distinct commission
from the NJ State Ethics Commission. They can be reached by contacting the
Local Finance Board which is part of the Division of Community Affairs.
You may want to make your OPRA request directly to them.
Further, Department regulations and long-standing L&PS policy/practice
prohibit the submission of OPRA requests by email or fax. This is
supported by both case law and the General Records Council.
Further, N.J.A.C. 13:1E-2.4(a) is clear in its prohibition
against email submissions of record requests.
Therefore, I can not accept the below emailas a valid OPRA request to the
NJ State Ethics Commission.
You are permitted to make said requestby way of mail or using the NJ
online OPRA system.
Regards,
Regan A. Barbetti
OPRA Custodian
