HB5613

HB5613 amends the Open Meetings Act and the Freedom of Information Act to expand the definition of "public body" to include certain nongovernmental.

HB5613 amends the Open Meetings Act and the Freedom of Information Act by broadening the definition of "public body" to include nongovernmental organizations that receive at least $10,000 or 20% of their funding from the State. This change aims to ensure that certain nongovernmental entities are subject to the same transparency and accountability standards as public bodies. The bill also includes definitions for terms such as "public records," "private information," and "meeting," clarifying the scope of the Acts.
