HB2582

Illinois HB2582 amends the Open Meetings Act to redefine "meeting" and establish new notice requirements for public bodies.

HB2582 amends the Open Meetings Act by redefining "meeting" to include any gathering of public body members, whether in person or via video or audio conference. It mandates that public bodies post notice of regular meetings on their websites, which satisfies the requirement for continuous posting. The bill also requires public bodies to post agendas for regular meetings on their websites until the meetings conclude. It allows for closed meetings under specific circumstances, such as discussions involving ongoing investigations or matters that could compromise public safety.
