This bill amends the right-to-know law to exempt library user information from disclosure, specifically including details related to library cards and library membership status. The new legal language inserted into RSA 91-A:5, IV clarifies that records pertaining to library users are confidential and fall under the category of information that, if disclosed, would constitute an invasion of privacy. This change aims to protect the privacy of individuals who utilize library services.

Additionally, the bill maintains that while library user information is exempt from disclosure, it does not prevent public bodies or agencies from releasing health or safety-related information from investigative files when necessary. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, ensuring that the privacy of library users is upheld in accordance with the updated provisions.
