SB1206

Oklahoma SB1206 modifies public comment requirements at public body meetings.

Oklahoma SB1206 amends the Open Meetings Act to modify public comment requirements at public body meetings. It mandates that public bodies provide at least 24 hours' notice for regular meetings, excluding weekends and holidays. For special meetings, 48 hours' notice is required. The bill also allows for emergency meetings with reasonable notice and permits public bodies to maintain order during meetings. It clarifies that public bodies cannot prohibit criticism of their actions unless prohibited by law. The changes take effect on a specified date.
