Bill > SB48

This bill clarifies that an official agenda for a public meeting must be posted online at least seventy-two hours before the meeting is scheduled to begin, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays. This requirement is in addition to existing provisions that mandate posting the agenda at the principal office of the governing body and ensuring it is visible, readable, and accessible to the public, including its date, time, and location. The bill also reiterates that for special or rescheduled meetings, notice must be delivered in person or by mail, email, or telephone to news media that have requested it, and that other requirements of the section should be met as circumstances allow, with violations still considered a Class 2 misdemeanor.
