TO REQUIRE ALL CITY COUNCILS AND COUNTY QUORUM COURTS TO POST VIDEO RECORDINGS OF PUBLIC MEETINGS; AND TO REQUIRE ALL PUBLIC MEETINGS OF CITY COUNCILS OR COUNTY QUORUM COURTS TO BE RECORDED IN VIDEO FORMAT.

House Bill 1879 would have required all city councils and county quorum courts to record their public meetings in video format. These governmental bodies would also have been mandated to post these video recordings online. An amendment specified that the recordings must be posted within 24 hours after the public meeting. The bill aimed to make local government proceedings more accessible to the public, with compliance required within one year of its effective date.
