Prohibiting costs for inspection of governmental records under the right-to-know law.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits the state of New Hampshire from charging any costs or fees for the inspection or delivery, without copying, of governmental records under the state's right-to-know law. The law previously allowed public bodies to charge the actual cost of providing copies of records, but this bill removes that provision. The bill also clarifies that this does not exempt anyone from paying fees otherwise established by law for obtaining copies of records, but if such a fee is charged, no additional costs or fees can be added. The bill will take effect on January 1, 2019.
