What to Expect

Response Time

OPRA generally requires a written response as soon as possible and within the applicable statutory response period after the Custodian receives the request.

Most requests are subject to a seven-business-day response period. Different time periods may apply to certain requests, including commercial-purpose requests, records requiring review under Daniel's Law, and other circumstances specified by law.

A response may provide the records, deny access in whole or in part, request clarification, or advise that additional time is necessary as permitted by law.

Fees & Delivery

Most electronic records are provided at no charge.

Charges may apply for paper copies, physical media, delivery, or requests requiring an extraordinary expenditure of time and effort.

The Custodian will advise you in advance of applicable deposits, special service charges, or other authorized costs.

Access & Privacy

Not every record is subject to public disclosure.

OPRA and other State and federal laws contain exemptions protecting certain records or portions of records from disclosure. Records may also require redaction before release.

If access is denied in whole or in part, the Custodian will provide the applicable basis for the denial as required by law.
