In an effort to shed light on the operations of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, state lawmakers are pushing for legislation that would make it subject to both state’s open public records laws.
In New Jersey, bills have been introduced that would add materials made, maintained, kept on file or received in the course of official business by the Port Authority to the definition of a “government record” in the Open Public Records Act. They would also place the authority within OPRA’s definition of a “public agency.”
