Upcoming Webinars
The Right-to-Know Law and Public Meetings
NHMA will be hosting two complimentary webinars in September for members of the New Hampshire Municipal Association.
For details and registration information, visit www.nhmunicipal.org under Calendar of Events
Join Legal Services Counsel Stephen Buckley and Municipal Services Counsel Jonathan Cowal who will discuss the procedural and notice requirements for holding a proper public meeting, as well the exceptions to the meeting requirement (the so-called "non-meeting"). This webinar will also address public comment at public meeting, and establishing rules or procedure for public comment. The attorneys will discuss the purposes for which public bodies may hold a nonpublic session, as well as the procedural requirements for a proper nonpublic session and the recording and potential sealing of the minutes of a nonpublic session. This webinar will also address difficult "meeting" issues, such as communications outside a meeting and electronic means of communicating, and penalties and remedies provided in RSA Chapter 91-A.
The Right-to-Know Law and Governmental Records
Questions? Call 603.224.7447 or email NHMAregistrations@nhmunicipal.org.
Join Legal Services Counsel Stephen Buckley and Municipal Services Counsel Jonathan Cowal who will provide guidance on handling governmental record matters arising under the state’s Right-to-Know Law.
Handling governmental records requests requires an understanding of all aspects of request processing including: the requirements for availability, storage, managing electronic records, redaction, mandated access for certain records and appointments for review of records. This webinar will also address what records are exempt from disclosure, along with whether a record request that would require a search for multiple documents must be fulfilled or whether a request impermissibly seeks to create a record that does not exist.
Recent New Hampshire Supreme Court decisions relating to exemptions for internal personnel practices and personnel records and use of a privacy balancing test to determine whether internal investigations are exempt from disclosure in whole or in part, will be addressed in detail. In addition, guidance will be provided on the retention of governmental records and how claims under the Right-to-Know Law are enforced.
