Bill Summary

This bill revises the definitions section of what is commonly known as the open public records act, N.J.S.A.47:1A-1 et seq., to include e-mail addresses on the list of confidential items that must be redacted from any public record disclosed under the provisions of the act.

AI Summary

This bill amends the definition section of New Jersey's open public records act, commonly known as OPRA (N.J.S.A.47:1A-1 et seq.), to explicitly include email addresses as confidential information that must be redacted from public records when they are disclosed. This means that when a government agency releases a public record, any email addresses contained within it will be blacked out to protect privacy, unless specific exceptions apply.
