Bill > HB1231

This bill amends Mississippi law to shorten the notice requirement for special meetings of county boards of supervisors from five days to three business days, and also allows for notice to be posted on the county's official website and/or social media page for at least three days prior to the meeting, in addition to traditional methods like posting at the courthouse door or publishing in a newspaper. For emergency meetings, the bill maintains the requirement for notice to be given at least three hours before the meeting, with provisions for personal delivery and attempts to contact members who cannot be found, and also requires notice to be posted at the courthouse door. The purpose of these changes is to allow county boards to convene more quickly when necessary, while still ensuring public awareness of the meetings and their agendas.
