Relating to the Internet broadcast or recording of certain open meetings.

HB 1442 requires Texas state agencies with budgets exceeding $10 million and 100+ full-time employees to livestream and archive all public meetings online. Specifically, agencies must broadcast meetings live via video/audio on their websites during the meeting, provide archived recordings within seven days, and maintain them for two years. The bill applies only to executive and legislative branch agencies meeting these financial and staffing thresholds, excluding smaller agencies covered under a separate section. Exemptions exist for catastrophes or technical failures, but agencies must make "reasonable efforts" to provide recordings afterward.
