Introduced Text

Illinois HB5608 amends the Open Meetings Act and the Freedom of Information Act to expand the definition of "public body" to include certain.

HB5608 modifies the Open Meetings Act and the Freedom of Information Act by broadening the definition of "public body" to encompass nongovernmental organizations that receive at least $10,000 or 20% of their funding from the State. This change aims to ensure transparency and accountability in the operations of these organizations, aligning them with public entities in terms of disclosure requirements. The bill excludes specific entities such as child death review teams and regional youth advisory boards from this definition.
