This bill amends the right-to-know law by specifically exempting library user information from disclosure. The new legal language inserted into RSA 91-A:5, IV clarifies that records related to library users, including library cards and library membership status, are protected from public access. This change aims to enhance the privacy of library patrons by ensuring that their personal information remains confidential and is not subject to public scrutiny.

Additionally, the bill maintains existing exemptions for other sensitive records, such as those related to internal personnel practices and confidential financial information. The act will take effect 60 days after its passage, reinforcing the commitment to safeguarding the privacy of individuals who utilize library services.
