creating an exception to physical attendance and quorum requirements under the right-to-know law for individuals with disabilities and individuals caring for a household member with disabilities.

HB 1032 modifies New Hampshire's right-to-know law to allow individuals with disabilities or those caring for a disabled household member to participate in public meetings remotely without affecting quorum requirements. The bill adds a specific exception stating that such individuals, when unable to attend in person due to disability (as defined by the ADA) or caregiving responsibilities, may join meetings virtually and still count as "in person" for establishing a quorum. This change ensures their participation does not disrupt meeting legality or decision-making processes. The policy directly affects disabled residents and their caregivers who face barriers to physical attendance at public meetings. The bill takes effect 60 days after enactment.
