Senate Enrolled Act No. 392 Summary

• Effective July 1, 2018, amends public notice requirements for county executives and town legislative bodies by clarifying that "administrative functions" meetings (limited to routine internal management activities) do not require advance notice and explicitly exclude taking final action on public business, exercising legislative powers, or awarding/entering into contracts.

• Allows counties, cities, and towns to divide and transfer land not exceeding 300 square feet to adjacent property owners at no cost if the shape and area indicate an error in the legal description, with provisions for equal assessment to adjacent owners and county surveyor dispute resolution.

• Permits public agencies to provide public records in electronic or paper format at the requester's option and clarifies that law enforcement recording requests must be in writing with specific information (date/time, location, and name of involved individual).

• Authorizes county executives to sell tax certificates of sale at prices below the statutory minimum if the price includes costs directly attributable to the sale, and allows omission of property descriptions from published notices if details are available online and upon request.

• Establishes uniform copying fees for state agencies (maximum $0.10 per page) and non-state agencies (maximum $0.10 per page for standard copies, $0.25 for color copies), with exceptions for electronic mail delivery and specific record types like law enforcement recordings.
