OPRA Amended: What Does It Mean for You?

Meave E. Cannon, Shareholder and Chair of the Administrative Law and Government Contracts Group, and her practice group colleague Michael A. Cedrone spoke on the panel “OPRA Amended: What Does It Mean for You” at EdgeCon Autumn 2024 hosted by New Jersey Edge at Kean University on Thursday, Oct. 10, 2024.

Discussion covered then-Governor Murphy signing into law P.L.2024, c.16 (S2930/A4045) — the first significant amendment to the New Jersey Open Public Records Act (OPRA), N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1, et seq. in over two decades. These amendments, which took effect Sept. 3, 2024, made several key changes to OPRA in an effort to both modernize the law and prevent abuse. This presentation provided an overview of the most significant changes to OPRA, and how those changes impacted public entities in responding to OPRA requests on a daily basis.
