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 safeguard the privacy of individuals who utilize library services, ensuring that their personal information remains confidential.

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 privacy for library patrons while still allowing for the release of health or safety information when necessary.
