Bill > SB0374

This bill amends Indiana's open door law to require public agencies with websites to provide meeting notices online in a more accessible manner. Specifically, the legislation mandates that if a public agency has a website, it must post the meeting notice either directly at or near the top of its main website, or provide a clearly identifiable web link at that location that leads visitors to the full notice. This change is designed to enhance transparency and make public meeting information easier for citizens to find. The bill preserves existing notification requirements, such as posting notices at the agency's principal office and delivering notices to news media that have requested them, while adding this new online publication requirement. The law applies to various governmental bodies and public agencies, with some exceptions for continuous session meetings, administrative functions, and emergency meetings. The new provisions will take effect on July 1, 2025, giving agencies time to prepare for the updated notification standards.
