32:8-24. Findings, declarations
1. a. The Legislature hereby finds that the public's awareness of and participation in governmental actions is essential to maintaining a free society; that the more open a government is with its citizens, the greater the understanding and participation of the public in government; that the public's fundamental right to know the process of governmental decision-making and to review the reasons for those decisions is thwarted when the public's access to governmental meetings is blocked; and that government and the agencies created thereby must insure that their actions remain fully accountable to the public.
b. The Legislature declares that for these public policy reasons the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission shall develop rules and regulations concerning the right of the public and members of the news media to be present at meetings of the commission as herein provided.
