A bill for an act relating to public notice requirements for meetings of a governmental body.
HSB 75 requires Iowa governmental bodies (like city councils or school boards) to provide clearer public notice for meetings. It mandates posting notices in visible physical locations, emailing media that requested updates, and sharing notices on official government websites. The bill also requires marking amended agendas "AMENDED" and gives 24 hours' notice before meetings, unless urgent circumstances prevent it. This applies to all public meetings, including virtual ones and specific processes like veterans' job appointments.
