This bill amends existing law to grant parents and legal guardians access to their minor child's library records. Specifically, it introduces a new paragraph (II-a) to RSA 201-D:11, stating that all library records related to a minor's current borrowing of printed materials and audio-visual materials, such as DVDs and CDs, must be made available to either parent or the legal guardian upon request. This access is granted to the parent or guardian whose address matches that on the library account or who is listed on the account.

The bill does not delete any existing legal language but adds this new provision to enhance parental oversight of their children's library activities. The effective date for this change is set for January 1, 2026.
