Prohibits open public records requests for commercial purposes.

This bill (S 2415) prohibits government agencies from releasing public records in response to requests made for commercial purposes. It defines "commercial purpose" as any use expecting profit through sale, resale, solicitation, or fees, excluding news media, educational institutions, and government organizations. The law would require agencies to deny access to records sought for such commercial use, while preserving access for journalists, researchers, and other exempt entities. The bill amends New Jersey's Open Public Records Act to clarify these restrictions and align with existing confidentiality protections.
