Date of Proposal: November 1, 2010

Proposal Number: PRN 2010-269

Proposal Description:
The proposed new rules set forth those records of the Department of Law and Public Safety, including the records of divisions and “in but not of” agencies, not deemed government records for the purposes of N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1, in addition to those deemed exempt under other authority. The proposed rules reflect the Department’s decision to enact confidentiality standards governing access to government records that have been in use under paragraph four of
Executive Order No. 21, which was issued in July 2002 and modified by Executive Order in August 2002. Under the rules, exempted records include, but are not limited to, records of background investigations for public employment (including closed or inactive investigations), as well as records that may contain the identity of a confidential informant or source, or reveal an agency’s surveillance procedures or undercover personnel. Other exempted records include those created in connection with discipline, discharge and employee performance and evaluation. Also exempted is any inventory of state and local emergency resources – including employee contact information -- which if disclosed could substantially interfere with the state’s ability to protect against acts of sabotage or terrorism.

Summary of Proposal:
A complete summary of the proposed rule amendment is posted at: www.nj.gov/oag/proposed_rules/PRN-2010-269-DLPS-OAG-13_1E-3.pdf

Public Comment:
Public comment on the proposed rule will be accepted until
December 31, 2010. Please direct all comments to:

Deputy Attorney General Philip H. Hopkins.Jr.,
