Emergency and special meetings called by board of supervisors; revise notice process for.
HB 1266 revises notice requirements for special and emergency meetings of Mississippi county boards of supervisors. It allows boards to post meeting notices on the county website (if available and population is 50,000+) at least two hours before the meeting, replacing older methods like courthouse postings or newspaper ads. The bill also requires posting notices in a public location at the meeting site and sending notices via email or fax to citizens and media that have requested them. This change applies only to counties with 50,000 or more residents, exempting smaller counties from the website notice requirement.
