I am not required to fill out an official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA 47:1A-6(f), which states that an email from a requestor including all of the information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place of a completed form as a valid government record request.

I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.

I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

Good morning,

Please be advised that your request is invalid as being overbroad and failing to state “identifiable” documents. As the New Jersey Appellate Division stated in the case of MAG Entertainment, LLC v. Div. of Alcoholic Beverage Control 375 N.J. Super. 534, “OPRA does not require records custodians to conduct research among its records for a requestor and correlate date for various government records in the custodian’s possession.” (citing from Reda v. Tp. of West Milford, GRC Complaint No. 2002-58. In that case, a requestor sought information regarding a municipalities liability settlements but did not request any specific records. The Government Records Council (GRC) objected to the request stating that OPRA only allows requests for records, not requests for information.

An OPRA request is for documents not information. Please specify what document you are requesting.

Sincerely,
