Bill Summary
If and only if Senate Bill 243 of the 104th General Assembly, as amended by House Amendment No. 1, becomes law, then the Open Meetings Act is amended to allow a public body to hold closed meetings to consider self evaluation, practices and procedures, or professional ethics, when meeting with a representative of a statewide association (rather than a statewide or regional association) of which the public body is a member. Effective upon becoming law or on the date Senate Bill 243 of the 104th General Assembly takes effect, whichever is later.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Open Meetings Act to allow public bodies to hold closed meetings for specific purposes when meeting with a representative of a statewide association they are a member of, specifically for discussions related to self-evaluation, practices and procedures, or professional ethics. Previously, this exception applied to meetings with representatives of statewide or regional associations, but this bill narrows it to only statewide associations. The bill's effective date is contingent on another piece of legislation, Senate Bill 243 of the 104th General Assembly, becoming law.
