This bill mandates that all agendas, minutes, and reports from legislative study committees and statutory commissions be made publicly available on both the general court website and the relevant state department's website within five days following a meeting. The new legal language added to RSA 91-A:4 includes a provision that requires the clerks of the house of representatives and senate to ensure this information is posted promptly. Additionally, the bill clarifies that this requirement does not interfere with existing provisions in RSA 91-A:3 and RSA 91-A:5.

The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, enhancing transparency and accessibility of legislative activities to the public. The inclusion of this new paragraph aims to improve the flow of information regarding legislative processes and decisions, thereby promoting accountability within state governance.
