On July 7, 2002, P.L. 2001, c. 404, also known as the Open Public Records Act (OPRA), became effective. This law enacted changes concerning public access to government records.

This OPRA law expands the public's right of access to government records and facilitates the way in which that access is provided by the custodian of those records. Section 18 of the law authorizes public agencies to take anticipatory administrative action in advance as may be necessary for the smooth and efficient implementation of the act. >More on NJDEP's implementation of OPRA
