Open Meetings - As enacted, adds the governing body of a local education agency and certain other local governing bodies of a public body with the authority to make binding decisions or the ability to appropriate funds to the list of governing bodies that are required to make meeting agendas available to the public in advance of such meetings. - Amends TCA Section 8-44-110.

HB 1797 expands Tennessee's open meeting requirements to include school boards and similar local bodies. Specifically, it adds the governing body of a local education agency (like school boards) and any other local public body with decision-making or funding authority to the list of entities required to publish meeting agendas publicly in advance. This change applies to bodies that can make binding decisions or control public funds, ensuring greater transparency for community members. The bill amends existing law (TCA § 8-44-110) to formalize this expanded access, making no other substantive policy changes.
