Establishes government records internet database; appropriates $10 million.
S 1590 requires New Jersey's Department of Community Affairs to create a public internet database for government records from all state and local agencies. It directs the department to establish rules for which records must be included, and whether they should stay in their original format or be converted to a more accessible "user-friendly" format - considering both public ease of use and agency costs. The bill appropriates $10 million from the State General Fund to implement this database. This affects all state and local government entities that maintain records, making their information more publicly accessible online.
