relative to mandatory disclosure by school district employees to parents and legal guardians.

The new section was renumbered from RSA 189:13-d to RSA 189:13-e, and the insertion point shifted from 'after section 13-c' to 'after section 13-d,' indicating another bill already added a section 13-d to that chapter.

The bill status changed from 'As Amended by the House' to 'Version Adopted by Both Bodies' with an adoption date of 06/04/2026, reflecting final legislative passage rather than a policy change.

Removed the word 'material' before 'information,' broadening the duty to respond to cover all information relating to a child, not just material information.

Changed the legal exception from 'to the extent permitted by state or federal law' (permissive) to 'except where prohibited by state or federal law' (exception-based), shifting the default obligation toward full disclosure.

Replaced partial withholding ('may withhold only the information that creates the risk') with a full written denial of the entire request for information.

Removed 'physical harm' from the list of risks that trigger the safety exception, leaving only 'abuse or neglect' as defined in RSA 169-C:3.

Changed the reporting requirement from filing with DHHS within 48 hours under RSA 169-C:30 to filing a report with the superintendent (no deadline specified).

Expanded the class of individuals who may submit written inquiries to school employees from 'parents' to 'parents and legal guardians,' appearing in the act title, section heading, and operative duty language.
