Counties and municipalities; recording and publishing of meetings of local governing bodies, required

House Bill 362 requires local governing bodies, including county and municipal governments and local boards of education, to audio and video record all their open and public meetings. These recordings must be made available to view online within two business days after the meeting concludes. Additionally, these bodies must post a notice on their public website explaining how to access these recorded meetings. This act, which aims to increase transparency for local government proceedings, is set to become effective on October 1, 2025.
