Bill > HB83

This bill amends Kentucky Revised Statute (KRS) 61.848 to state that any formal action taken by a public agency, such as a rule or resolution, can be declared void by a court if the agency did not substantially follow the laws related to open meetings. These laws cover requirements for video teleconferencing, keeping accurate meeting minutes, and ensuring public attendance. The bill specifically adds KRS 61.826, 61.835, and 61.840 to the list of statutes that must be substantially complied with for an action to be valid, meaning that if these rules are not followed, a court can invalidate the agency's decision.
