SB2280

Mississippi SB2280 revises accessibility to information on meeting times, agendas, and minutes for public bodies.

Mississippi SB2280 amends the Mississippi Code to enhance transparency for public bodies. It requires public bodies to create and maintain a public notice list of email addresses for Mississippi residents who wish to be notified of meeting times and agendas. Public bodies must email this list at least 72 hours before each meeting or within one business day of setting the meeting. The bill also mandates that minutes of meetings, including those conducted via teleconference or video, be recorded and made available to the public within 48 hours.
