To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the New Jersey Open Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
Records that contain information on how many specialty "Choose Life" license plates were sold from 1997 onwards.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 7 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Mackenzie Farkus

Hello Joseph,
I wanted to reach out to you about the fees associated with this request. Going by the attachment that you sent me, it is unclear why this office is charging me $328 for this request. I would like to add that as of today (April 24th), 17 states have been able to fulfill this exact same request for free. Can you please elaborate on the $328 fee?
Thanks,
Mackenzie Farkus

As stated in the response:
N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5(d) provides:
If a request is for a record: (1)in a medium not
routinely used by the agency; (2)not routinely
developed or maintained by an agency; or (3)
requiring a substantial amount of manipulation or
programming of information technology, the agency
may charge, in addition to the actual cost of
duplication, a special charge that shall be
reasonable and shall be based on the cost for
any extensive use of information technology,
or for the labor cost of the personnel providing
the service, that is actually incurred by the
agency or attributable to the agency for the
programming, clerical, and supervisory assistance
required, or both.
A program to cull the information you seek must first be written. It is tested then tested before the actual program is run. This is necessary to cull the data from the MVC's thirty four year old database. Your request seeks information dating back to 1997. Please be advised that it is extremely unlikely that Information prior to 2005 will be available. The MVC did not begin "data warehousing" until 2005.
