The OPRA request as submitted is being returned for the reason stated below.

Effective Tuesday, September 3, 2024 the GRC amended a “new” OPRA form that is required to be used per P.L.2024, c.16
that Governor Murphy signed into law in 2024 for any OPRA requests.

Items 1, 2, and 3 MUST be completed under the “Requestor Information” box.

Under penalty of N.J.S.A. 2C:28-3, I certify that
1.I __HAVE / __HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States;
2.I, or another person, __WILL / __WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose;
3.I __AM /__AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

Please complete this portion as it is a requirement.
If a custodian seeks clarification of an OPRA request, the response time clock stops until the requestor provides a response to the custodian.
If there is no reply within a reasonable amount of time, this OPRA request will not be processed.

Thank you Record Custodian
