CO HB1087

Local public bodies (municipalities, counties, school boards, special districts) may satisfy meeting notice requirements by posting notices on a public website at least 24 hours before meetings, with notices accessible at no charge to the public.

Online notices must include specific agenda information where available and be searchable by meeting type, date, time, agenda contents, and other appropriate categories; local bodies must provide website addresses to the Department of Local Affairs.

Physical posting in designated public places remains optional for local bodies that post notices online, except that a physical backup location must be designated for posting notices in exigent or emergency circumstances (power outages or internet service interruptions).

General Assembly declares intent for local governments to transition from physical to online meeting notices to the greatest extent practicable and expresses intent to monitor progress over two years before potentially mandating online-only posting in statute.

Special districts' meeting notice requirements are amended to require compliance with Section 24-6-402 online posting standards rather than the previous requirement to post in three public places and the county clerk's office.
