HB1777 amends the Open Meetings Act to expand the circumstances under which public bodies may hold closed meetings. Specifically, it allows public bodies to hold closed meetings to consider self-evaluation, practices, and procedures, or professional ethics, when meeting with a representative of a regional association of which the public body is a member. The bill maintains that all other meetings must be open to the public, with specific exceptions outlined in the Act. These exceptions include discussions related to personnel matters, legal proceedings, and certain sensitive information.
