Establishes a government records internet database for New Jersey state and local agencies, with $10 million appropriated for its creation.
The New Jersey Senate Bill S1590 mandates the Department of Community Affairs to create an internet database of government records from state and local departments, agencies, commissions, authorities, and instrumentalities. This database will be publicly accessible. The Commissioner of the Department of Community Affairs will set rules for which records are submitted to the database and determine their accessible formats, balancing public accessibility with conversion costs. The bill allocates $10 million from the State General Fund for the database's establishment.
