The Office of the Right to Know Ombudsman ("RKO") is a quasi-judicial state agency created by Laws 2022, Ch. 250 to "provide the public with a simpler, less expensive, and faster alternative process to resolve complaints under RSA 91-A." (See RSA 91:7-a-7-d.) It is not part of New Hampshire's judicial system, rather it is an agency within the executive branch. The RKO is charged only with addressing whether a complaint establishes facts sufficient to show a violation of RSA 91-A.
Orders and decisions of the Right to Know Ombudsman are available from the Office of the Ombudsman upon request. Selected orders and decisions are posted below. The orders contain useful procedural information for researchers.
