defining the term citizen for the purposes of the right to know law and including preliminary drafts circulated to a quorum of a majority of a public body as disclosable documents.

This bill clarifies that "citizen" under New Hampshire's right-to-know law includes press organizations working to inform New Hampshire residents, regardless of where they are based. It requires public bodies to disclose preliminary drafts of documents circulated to a majority of members during meetings, not just final versions. These changes apply to all public bodies and affect how meeting materials are shared with the public. The law takes effect 60 days after enactment.
