Establishes general requirements for meetings of governing bodies of political subdivisions

HB 1720 requires cities, towns, counties, and villages to establish public comment policies for their regular meetings. It mandates a designated public comment period at the start of each meeting, with at least three minutes per speaker, a one-hour total limit, and no restrictions on comment content. The bill also requires local governments to accept written comments from those unable to attend and prohibits banning attendees except for specific offenses like disorderly conduct. These rules apply directly to residents, businesses, and taxpayers seeking to address local governing bodies.
