restricting right-to-know requests to persons domiciled or maintaining a permanent residence in New Hampshire and requiring proof of domicile or residency to file right-to-know requests.

SB 626 limits access to New Hampshire government records to individuals who live in the state. It requires anyone outside New Hampshire to provide proof of residency or domicile before submitting a right-to-know request. News organizations based outside New Hampshire are exempt from this residency requirement. The bill amends state law to define "citizen" as someone with a New Hampshire residence and updates procedures for record access.
