The Open Public Records Act ("OPRA") provides that government records must be made readily accessible for inspection, copying, or examination by records requestors, with certain exceptions.  OPRA now includes nearly 40 specific exemptions from disclosure within its many provisions. 

If a records custodian is unable to comply with a request for access, the custodian must indicate the specific basis in writing.
