New Jersey § 32:1-6

§ 32:1-6.

The Legislature finds and declares that the right of the public to be present at meetings

of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and to witness in full detail all

phases of the deliberation, policy formulation, and decision making of the authority,

is vital to the enhancement and proper functioning of the democratic process, and

that secrecy in public affairs undermines the faith of the public in government and

the public's effectiveness in fulfilling its role in a democratic society; and declares

it to be the public policy of this State to insure the right of its citizens to have

adequate advance notice of and the right to attend all meetings of the authority at

which any business affecting the public is discussed or acted upon in any way except

only in those circumstances where otherwise the public interest would be clearly endangered

or the personal privacy of guaranteed rights of individuals would be clearly in danger

of unwarranted invasion.
