OPRA stands for what?

• A. Open Public Records Act
• B. Open Public Records Authority
• C. Official Public Records Act
• D. Open Privacy Records Act

Answer: (A)

This item tests knowing the exact name behind the acronym OPRA. OPRA stands for Open Public Records Act, the statute (in New Jersey) that governs how the public can request and obtain government records while outlining exemptions. The phrase matches how this law is actually used and cited in practice, focusing on access to records rather than creating an agency or emphasizing privacy. The other phrases don’t fit because they would imply an agency or a different focus (authority, official naming, or privacy), whereas the established title is about an act that opens public records for inspection.
