FL S0192

Amends Florida's public meetings law to define key terms including "de facto meeting" (use of staff or intermediaries to facilitate discussion between board members), "meeting" (gathering of two or more board members), and "public business" (any matter before or foreseeably expected before the board).

Requires all meetings or de facto meetings of state and local boards or commissions where official acts are taken or public business is discussed to be open to the public.

Allows board or commission members to participate in fact-finding exercises, excursions, and meetings with legislators without public notice requirements if no votes occur, no official acts are taken, no agreement is made, and no discussion of public business takes place.

Requires appropriate records, minutes, audio recordings, or video recordings to be made and retained as public records for any fact-finding exercises or excursions by board members.

Specifies that resolutions, rules, or formal actions are only binding if taken at a public meeting with reasonable notice provided.
