OPEN MEETINGS LAW – Amends existing law to establish provisions regarding multiple action items on an agenda.

This Idaho bill (H 103) amends the Open Meetings Law to clarify how public agencies handle agenda items containing multiple decisions. It requires that if an agenda item bundles more than one decision (like a consent calendar), it must be approved by unanimous consent of all voting members - meaning every member must agree. If unanimous consent isn’t achieved, each decision must be voted on separately. This applies to all public meetings, including regular and special sessions, and takes effect July 1, 2025. The change directly affects local governments, school boards, and other public bodies holding meetings governed by Idaho’s open meetings rules.
