Requires certain studies and papers produced or commissioned by State entities to be made available electronically.
This bill requires New Jersey state agencies and other covered entities (like boards and commissions) to make certain studies and papers available online. Specifically, any study or paper considered a public record under New Jersey's Open Public Records Act must be posted electronically on the relevant state agency's website. The law defines "state entity" broadly to include all executive branch departments, agencies, and their related boards or authorities. This change ensures these documents are accessible online without requiring a formal public records request.
