Section 1[-a] of the Right-to-Know Law defines what is covered by chapter 91-A, namely what is a public body, a public agency, and what are their proceedings and records.
The term "public proceedings" as used in this chapter means the transaction of any functions affecting any or all citizens of the state by any of the following:
I. The general court including executive sessions of committees;
II. The governor's council;
III. Any board or commission of any state agency or authority;
IV. Any board, commission, agency, or authority, of any county, town, municipal corporation, school district, or other political subdivision.

Note that section 1 was renumbered as section 1-a effective September 13, 1977. This language of the RSA was changed by these session laws: 1971, 327; 1967, 251.
