The OPRA response is due within how many business days?

• A. 5 business days
• B. 7 business days
• C. 10 business days
• D. 15 business days

Answer: (B)

The main concept is the timeline for responding to a records request under OPRA. Agencies must respond within seven business days of receiving the request. This baseline clock counts only business days, so weekends and holidays don’t push the due date.

If the records aren’t readily available, the custodian can extend, but only up to seven additional business days, and must provide the reason and a new estimated date. So the standard due date is seven business days, with extensions possible under specific circumstances.
