Robert A. Verry, Respondent v. Franklin Fire District No. 1, Appellant, and Millstone Valley Fire Department…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed that the Franklin Fire District is a public agency subject to OPRA and must release the MVFD's constitution and bylaws, but held that the Millstone Valley Fire Department itself is not a separate public agency directly subject to OPRA. Justice Albin, in a partial dissent/concurrence, agreed with the release of the records but argued the fire department should be deemed a public agency.
