SB 2371 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Open meetings; revise accessibility to information on meeting times, agendas and minutes.

SB 2371 requires all Mississippi public bodies (including local governments, school districts, and state agencies) to create email notice lists for residents, send meeting details and agendas 72 hours in advance, and post minutes online within 48 hours. It mandates public bodies to maintain online lists of members/staff and provide contact info for joining notice lists. The bill, which died in committee on February 4, 2025, aimed to improve public access to meeting information but never took effect (scheduled for July 1, 2025). It directly affects how government entities share meeting schedules and records with residents.
