Bill > HB5608

This bill amends the Open Meetings Act and the Freedom of Information Act to expand the definition of a "public body" to include certain nongovernmental organizations. Specifically, any private organization that receives either less than $10,000 or less than 20% of its total funding from the State will now be considered a public body under these laws. This change means these organizations will be subject to the same transparency requirements as government entities, including holding open meetings and responding to public records requests, thereby increasing accountability for organizations that receive state funding.
