Bill > HB2883

This bill amends the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to change how public bodies must make certain information available to the public. Specifically, the bill requires each public body to post a brief description of itself on its website, instead of displaying this information at its administrative or regional offices. The description must include details such as the body's purpose, organizational structure, total operating budget, number and location of offices, approximate number of employees, and information about any advisory boards, commissions, or committees that guide or oversee its operations. If a public body does not have a website, it must continue to display this information at its administrative or regional offices. The goal of this amendment appears to be increasing public access to information about government entities by leveraging online platforms, making it easier for citizens to learn about the structure and function of various public bodies.
