[SJ 456] COMMITTEE REPORTS
HB 744, excluding records and proceedings that are confidential under federal law from the state right to know law. Inexpedient to legislate. Sen. Monier for the Committee on Executive Departments.
Sen. MONIER: This bill was introduced as a matter of excluding RSA 282 which is the Department of Employment Security, from the confideniality of records. Testimony in front of the committee was very simple and very basic. The committee discussed this, and carried on discussion with the people before us, and came to the conclusion that it was inexpedient to legislate. I urge your support.
Sen. BOSSIE: Would you advise the Senate as to some of the details of the committee hearing and who testified, what the gist of this bill is?
Sen. MONIER: The gist of the bill is supposedly that the materials and information under the Department of Employment Security are not any longer necessary to be under the right-to-know law, for a variety of reasons, some of which were presented by Rep. McManus, Rep. Spirou, etc. The truth of the matter is that when you look into the law and find out, technically speaking, this information they are claiming is already covered by right-to-know law includes privileged information which would force the Department of Employment Security that if they gave this information they would wind up in court. If they didn't give it they would also wind up in court. I think that the bill probably is aimed at other things besides the right-to-know law. That was the committee consensus.
Adopted.
Senators Foley, Fennelly, Trowbridge, and R. Smith recorded in opposition.
Senators Saggiotes and Monier recorded in favor.
[SJ 462] Sen. Monier moved reconsideration of HB 744. Motion lost.
