Bill Summary
Current law requires a newly elected or appointed public official who is a member of a governmental body to complete a training course relating to the responsibilities of the governmental body and its members under Code chapter 21 (official meetings open to public). This bill provides that a member of a board, council, or committee that is established solely to provide advice or recommendations, and who is appointed by a school board, city council, or board of supervisors, is exempt from this training requirement.
AI Summary
This bill amends Iowa Code chapter 21, which governs official meetings open to the public, by creating an exception to the requirement that newly elected or appointed public officials complete a training course on their responsibilities. Specifically, members of boards, councils, or committees that exist solely to offer advice or recommendations, and who are appointed by a school board, city council, or board of supervisors, will no longer need to complete this training. This change aims to streamline the process for individuals serving in these advisory roles.
