Bill > SB2021

This bill amends Mississippi Code Section 19-3-19 to reduce the notice requirement for special meetings of county boards of supervisors from five days to three days. Specifically, the bill requires that notice of special meetings be given at least three days in advance by posting an advertisement at the courthouse door or publishing it in a county newspaper. Additionally, the bill introduces a new requirement that notice must also be posted on the county's official website and/or official social media page for at least three days before the meeting. The notice must specify each matter of business to be discussed, and only those specified items can be transacted during the special meeting. This change aims to provide a more timely and flexible process for county boards of supervisors to convene special meetings while still maintaining transparency by requiring public notice. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, giving counties time to prepare for the new notice requirements.
