Interagency group meeting requirement to be open to the public

Minnesota Senate File 57 requires state interagency groups that make recommendations on public permitting decisions to hold their meetings openly to the public. This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to explicitly include these interagency groups under existing open meeting requirements for state agencies, boards, and commissions. Key provisions mandate that such meetings must be accessible to the public and that all votes must be recorded in official minutes. The bill applies specifically to state employee groups advising on permitting decisions, not to all public meetings or other government bodies.
