Relating to training requirements for certain public officials and candidates for public office.

HB 225 requires specific public officials - including school board trustees, judges, court personnel, and others - to complete mandatory training on open meeting laws and governance. The training must cover topics like meeting procedures, notice requirements, penalties for noncompliance, and legal background, and must be provided by approved entities. Officials must receive a certificate of completion and maintain public records of their training for inspection. The bill also mandates that at least one training course be available at no cost in video or similar widely accessible format.
