New Jersey § 52:18a-234

§ 52:18a-234.

An agency shall not warrant the fitness for any particular purpose of any open data

or datasets presented on the open data website, nor shall an agency providing open

data or a dataset on the open data website be liable for any deficiencies in its completeness

or accuracy, except when the agency's conduct would constitute gross negligence, willful

and wanton misconduct, or intentional misconduct. Each agency, pursuant to standards and policies established by the Chief Data Officer

with the cooperation of the State Treasurer, shall verify the accuracy of the open

data and datasets it makes available to the public on the open data website and, if

possible, correct any errors or inaccuracies discovered by the agency providing the

open data or dataset, other agencies, or the public. Nothing in this section shall require an agency to make its open data and datasets

available to the public on the open data website upon the demand of the public. Requests for open data or datasets not posted on the open data website are subject

to potential disclosure under P.L.1963, c. 73 ( C.47:1A-1 et seq. ), known commonly as the open public records act. Unless contrary to specific policies or rules established by the Chief Data Officer,

agencies shall not require a user of an open data website to register or provide any

user information as a condition to obtaining the open data or datasets provided by

the agency on the open data website. Notwithstanding any rule, regulation or statute to the contrary, agencies shall be

actively encouraged by the Chief Data Officer and the State Treasurer to share open

data and datasets with each other without formal agreements, provided that no existing

laws regarding the security of personal, private, and confidential information are

violated. The sharing of personal, private, or confidential data shall be permitted only when

in conformity with restrictions, established by the Chief Data Officer in cooperation

with the Attorney General, to ensure that the data is used in a manner that is secure

and in conformity with State law.
