RELATING TO PUBLIC MEETINGS.

HB 1453 sets a 9:00 p.m. deadline for local government boards to begin or continue public meetings, aiming to limit late-night sessions. It directly affects boards like school districts or planning commissions but explicitly excludes county council meetings from this rule. The key provision requires boards to conclude meetings before 9:00 p.m. or not start new ones after that time, with no mention of exceptions for specific board types beyond the county council exclusion. This is a procedural change focused on meeting timing, not substantive policy.
