Sen. Loretta Weinberg is proposing to revamp the state's 1975 Open Public Meetings Act, which regulates how governments hold public meetings.

Assemblyman Joseph Cryan is sponsoring legislation to limit copying fees for public documents. "This bill represents a fair and equitable solution that would ensure all citizens have access to public records regardless of their financial ability to access them," said Cryan during a Sunshine Week NJ FOG sponsored event.
