AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee's public meetings law by extending the timeframe for the office of open records counsel to review and approve compliance plans from 30 to 45 days. Specifically, the bill modifies Section 8-44-109(c) of the Tennessee Code Annotated, increasing the window for acknowledging and approving plans submitted by governmental bodies regarding their electronic communication requirements for internet forum meetings. The change gives government bodies more time to develop and submit their plans for compliance with open meetings regulations, potentially allowing for more thorough and carefully prepared documentation.
