Right-to-Know Applications (RSA 91-A)

When responding to an RSA 91-A request, the Town complies with the definition of government records stated in RSA 91-A:1-A
RSA 91-A:4 (IV) provides that “ Each public body or agency shall, upon request for any public record make available for inspection and copying any such public records within its files when such records are immediately available for such release. If a public body or agency is unable to make a public record available for immediate inspection and copying, it shall, within 5 business days of request, make such record available, deny the request in writing with reasons, or furnish written acknowledgment of the receipt of the request and a statement of the time reasonably necessary to determine whether the request shall be granted or denied.” It further states, “ Nothing in this section shall exempt any person from paying fees otherwise established by law for obtaining copies of public records or documents, but if such fee is established for the copy, no additional costs or fees shall be charged.”

The Town also complies with the exemptions stated in RSA 91-A:5 and those created by case law.
