An Act promoting governmental efficiency

This bill clarifies and streamlines the process for filing complaints about violations of the Open Meeting Law. It requires complainants to include specific details (like a description of the violation, contact info, and signature), file within 20 business days, and specifies when complaints are considered received (e.g., email by 4:00 p.m. counts as same-day). Public bodies must respond to complaints within 14 business days, and may request relief from the Attorney General if a complainant files more than 12 complaints against them in a year or if a complaint is deemed burdensome. The bill also updates terminology, replacing "complaint" with "petition for review" in one section and removing a restriction on public dissemination of meeting requests.
