This bill expands the definition of "superintendent" within the context of school administrative units (SAUs) to include any personnel assigned by a superintendent to carry out superintendent services. This change is codified by inserting a new section, 194-C:4-a, into RSA 194-C, which specifies that the term "superintendent" encompasses both the superintendent and their designated personnel for the purpose of performing superintendent services as authorized in RSA 194-C:5.

Additionally, the bill amends RSA 153:14, II(b) and RSA 170-G:8-a, II(b)(3) to reflect this updated definition. It requires that when local fire chiefs conduct annual inspections of school buildings and submit reports on fire code compliance, a copy of the report must now be furnished not only to the school district superintendent but also to any personnel assigned to perform superintendent services. Similarly, for the purposes of maintaining records and confidentiality as outlined in RSA 170-G:8-a, II(b)(3), the term "superintendent" now includes personnel assigned to perform superintendent services. The act is approved on June 14, 2024, and will take effect on August 13, 2024.
