Section 9 of the Right-to-Know Law limits the destruction of records.
A person is guilty of a misdemeanor who knowingly destroys any information with the purpose to prevent such information from being inspected or disclosed in response to a request under this chapter.
If a request for inspection is denied on the grounds that the information is exempt under this chapter, the requested material shall be preserved for 90 days or while any lawsuit pursuant to RSA 91-A:7-8 is pending.
This is the current language of this law. This language has been in effect since January 1, 2003. This is the original version of this language. This language of the RSA was changed by this session law: 2002, 175.
