Does a public agency have to respond to OPRA requests within seven (7) calendar days during the COVID-19 outbreak?

Records will be avilable as soon as possible.

Thank you,

Manchester Township Municipal Clerk’s Office
As of March 20, 2020, both houses of the New Jersey State Legislature have passed bills (Nos. A3849 and S2302) which remove the deadlines by which a public agency is required under the Open Public Records Act (“OPRA”), N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq., to respond to requests for government records during a state of emergency, public health emergency or state of local disaster emergency. However, the custodian of a government record must make a reasonable effort, as the circumstances permit, to respond to the request within seven (7) business days or as soon as possible thereafter.
3/20/2020 Approved P.L .2020, c.10.
