HB611 Agendas and Posting

• Requires governmental entities to post meeting notices and agendas to website or social media pages. Only if the entities already have a webpage.
• Requires all agenda items requiring action to be designated as “action items.”
• Prohibits a meeting agenda from being amended after the meeting started for items which require action and were not on the agenda at the start of the meeting unless an emergency exists.

Note: Governor’s transmittal letter calls upon legislature to define the term “emergency” in 2019.
