This will respond to the referenced request for government records.

Because the requester failed to specify a date range for items 1 and 3 of the request, the search for records was limited to the period specified in item 2, that is, from Jan. 1, 2015 to present. The Division of Family Health Services does not hold any government records responsive to the referenced request.

Item 2 of the request is improper, overbroad, and nonspecific in that it fails to identify the specific records requested. Therefore, the government records law, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq., obliges me to deny this part of the request.
