1987 HB727 Committee of Conference Amendment

Amend RSA 91-A:4, III(d) as inserted by section 4 of the bill by replacing it with the following:

(d) Each public body shall, upon request for any public record reasonably described, make available for inspection and copying any such public record within its files when the record is immediately available for release. If a public body 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. If a photocopying machine or other device maintained for use by a public body is used by the body to copy the public record or document requested, the person requesting the copy may be charged only the actual cost of providing the copy, which cost may be collected by the public body. Nothing in this section shall exempt any person from paying fees otherwise established by statute 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.

Amend RSA 91-A:5, I(e) as inserted by section 5 of the bill by replacing it with the following:

(e) Confidential, commercial, or financial information of an individual, partnership, or corporation.
