AI Summary

  • Amends the Open Meetings Act to clarify that public bodies must review closed session minutes every 6 months, or as soon thereafter as practicable, rather than using the previous "no less than semi-annually" language.

  • Ad hoc committees must review closed session minutes at the later of either 6 months from the last review or at their next scheduled meeting.

  • When a public body is dissolved, disbanded, eliminated, or consolidated by executive action, legislative action, or referendum, the governing body of the unit of local government must review that public body's closed session minutes.

  • Maintains existing requirements that determinations about whether closed session minutes still need confidential treatment must be reported in open session.

  • Preserves the 60-day cure period allowing public bodies to remedy failures to strictly comply with closed session minute review requirements without automatic public disclosure.
