Open Meetings Act - County Boards of Education - Enhanced Requirements (Local Boards of Education Transparency Act)

HB 154 requires county boards of education and the Baltimore City Board of School Commissioners to live-stream all public meeting portions on their websites and maintain archived videos for at least one year. It mandates posting meeting agendas 48 hours in advance (or as soon as practicable for emergencies), publishing minutes within two business days, and making finalized documents publicly accessible. The bill directly affects school boards by increasing transparency around their decision-making processes. Key provisions include real-time public access to meetings, standardized posting requirements, and longer retention of meeting records compared to current standards.
