Ment Text

Louisiana HB627 mandates video recording and live broadcast of public meetings for certain entities.

Louisiana HB627 requires each public entity created by law to video record and broadcast live all proceedings in a public meeting. This includes nonelected boards or commissions with taxing authority. The law also mandates live broadcasts for parish governing authorities and school boards in parishes with populations of 25,000 or more, as well as city councils in municipalities with populations of 10,000 or more. The requirement does not apply to executive sessions. Technological failures beyond the control of the public body do not constitute a violation.
