RELATING TO PUBLIC MEETINGS.
SB 1617 prohibits local government boards (like school or commission boards) from starting or continuing meetings after 9:00 p.m., aiming to limit late-night proceedings. The bill specifically excludes county council meetings from this restriction. This is a procedural rule change affecting how local boards schedule public meetings. The bill is currently under review by the GVO committee, with a scheduled hearing on February 4, 2025.
