Bill > S3714

Introduced Session

This bill requires the Department of Community Affairs to establish a government records internet database for the government records of all State and local agencies to be accessible by the public. The Commissioner of the Department of Community Affairs will determine which government records will be required to be submitted to the department for inclusion in the database. The Commissioner will also designate which government records will be accessible in the database in the medium or format the agency maintains and which will be accessible in a format converted from what the agency maintains to a more "user-friendly" format. In making the determination, the commissioner will consider both ease of record accessibility for the public and cost and effort of the conversion to the agency. This bill appropriates $10 million from the State General Fund to the Department of Community Affairs to establish the database.
