Open Meetings Law for public bodies; require official meetings to be broadcast via video livestream applications, with exceptions.
SB 2571 requires most public meetings of local government bodies (like city councils and county boards) in Mississippi to be live-streamed via video on the agency's official website homepage, with detailed agendas included in public notices. It mandates that all public notices must include the streaming link and specify discussion topics, and requires public bodies to send their streaming links to the Secretary of State's office for public access. Actions taken at meetings failing to meet these requirements would be void. The bill, which died in committee in February 2025, does not apply to the state Legislature, courts, or executive sessions.
