New Hampshire Right to Know Law
The New Hampshire Right to Know Law is a series of statutes designed to guarantee that the public has access to public records of governmental bodies. Public records are any information created, accepted, or obtained by, or on behalf of, any public body.
The New Hampshire Right to Know Law indicates that all “citizens” have a right to access New Hampshire’s records. However the law does not specify whether it is citizens of New Hampshire or the United States. The only requirement for a statement of purpose is the release of statistical data sets that may contain personal information. This must be declared as a request for research. Exempted records may be released to other government agencies for use within only those agencies.Records released as statistical data sets can only be used for research and cannot be distributed to undeclared, non-research personnel. Allow five days for a response to record requests.
