Bill > A5998

This bill requires all studies and papers produced or commissioned by State entities in the Executive Branch that are considered public records under the Open Public Records Act (OPRA) to be made available electronically on the respective State entity's website. The bill defines "State entity" broadly to include not just State departments and agencies, but also any associated boards, commissions, corporations, authorities, or instrumentalities within the Executive Branch of State Government. By mandating electronic publication, the bill aims to increase transparency and public access to government-produced research and documents. The bill will take effect 30 days after its enactment, giving State entities time to prepare and implement the electronic posting requirements.
