AI Summary

  • Amends the Open Meetings Act to require public bodies with websites maintained by full-time staff to post meeting agendas and notices on their websites in addition to physical posting requirements.

  • Requires agendas for regular meetings to be posted at least 48 hours in advance at the principal office and meeting location, and remain posted on websites until the meeting concludes.

  • Mandates that all agendas set forth the general subject matter of any resolution or ordinance that will be subject to final action at the meeting.

  • Requires that at least one copy of the notice and agenda be continuously available for public review during the entire 48-hour period before the meeting, with website posting satisfying this requirement.

  • Specifies that failure to post notices or agendas on a website does not invalidate any meeting or actions taken, and lack of availability due to circumstances outside the public body's control does not invalidate meetings.
