OPRA - Records Requests
The Open Public Records Act provides for the public to obtain copies of existing records that are public records. Some records are exempt from public dissemination and are usually of a confidential nature. Only existing records are available. An OPRA request that is seeking information or an opinion that would require accumulation of data and the creation of a document does not fall under the regulations of the OPRA laws. Only existing public documents may be provided at the per page copy rate. Please note that Maurice River Township does not accept OPRA requests via fax transmission. A copy of the OPRA request form is provided below.
