AI Summary

  • Amends the Open Meetings Act to require elected and appointed members of public bodies to complete electronic training on Open Meetings Act compliance within specified timeframes.

  • Members who fail to complete required training within 30 days of receiving notice from their public body are disqualified from further service as a member.

  • Training must be completed within one year for existing members and within 90 days of taking office for new members, with certificates of completion filed with the public body.

  • Provides alternative training options for school board members, drainage district commissioners, soil and water conservation district directors, and park/forest preserve district members through their respective organizations.

  • Failure of individual members to complete training does not invalidate actions taken by the public body, but creates a mechanism for member removal through disqualification.
