Counties; shorten notice requirement for special meetings from five days to 3 days.
SB 2021 shortens the notice period required for county board of supervisors special meetings in Mississippi from five days to three days. It directly affects county boards and their members by reducing the advance notice needed for public meetings. The bill requires notice to be posted at the courthouse, published in a local newspaper, and displayed on the county website/social media for at least three days before the meeting, while still mandating that all agenda items be specified in the notice. This change aims to streamline meeting scheduling without altering the requirement to detail business topics in advance. The law would take effect July 1, 2025, if passed.
