Bill > HB1498

This bill requires all agendas, minutes, and reports from legislative study committees and statutory commissions to be publicly posted online within 5 days of each meeting. Specifically, these documents must be uploaded to both the general court's website (managed by the clerks of the house of representatives and senate) and an appropriate state department's website. The bill amends the Right-to-Know law (RSA 91-A:4) by adding a new paragraph that mandates this transparency measure. Importantly, the new requirement does not interfere with existing provisions related to public access to governmental records (RSA 91-A:3 and RSA 91-A:5), which likely protect certain sensitive information. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, giving state agencies and the general court time to implement the new online posting requirements.
