About Right to Know Requests

New Hampshire's Right to Know Law, RSA Chapter 91-A, states: "Openness in the conduct of public business is essential to a democratic society. The purpose of this chapter is to ensure both the greatest possible public access to the actions, discussion and records of all public bodies, and their accountability to the people." RSA 91-A:1.

The Right to Know Law affects every aspect of local government in our state. Every board, committee, commission, and subcommittee in every town, city and village district in New Hampshire must comply with this law. As a result, every local official and employee should be aware of the law and what their responsibilities are regarding both public meetings and governmental records.

To make it easier and transparent the Town of Henniker had adopted a policy on how to handle the Right to Know requests. Below you will find the policy and a form that is used to make these requests. If you have questions please reach out to the Town Administrator call 603-428-4366. Click on this link to email the request form: Town Administrator
