  • 10 :4-6 "Senator Byron M. Baer Open Public Meetings Act." 1.

    Newark, NJ
    Other

    This document excerpts the Senator Byron M. Baer Open Public Meetings Act, a New Jersey law (originally enacted in 1975 and amended in 2006) that establishes the public's right to attend and observe meetings of public bodies. The Legislature declares that public transparency is vital to democratic functioning and establishes state policy requiring advance notice and public access to all meetings where public business is discussed or decided, except in limited circumstances where the public interest or personal privacy would be endangered. The act defines "public body" as multi-member voting bodies organized under state law with authority to spend public funds or affect individual rights, while explicitly excluding informal advisory bodies, executive meetings with subordinates, and specific entities such as the judiciary and political party organizations.
