Open meetings; revise accessibility to information on meeting times, agendas and minutes.

SB 2280 would require most Mississippi public bodies (like city councils, school boards, and county commissions) to create and maintain public email lists for meeting notifications. It mandates that these bodies email meeting details (date, time, location, and agenda) at least 72 hours in advance to those on the list, and post minutes within 48 hours of meetings. The bill also requires public bodies to maintain accessible online lists of members and staff, and to include contact information for joining the notification list on their websites. These changes aim to improve public access to meeting information and government transparency, applying to all entities using public funds except specific exemptions like courts and law enforcement. The bill would have taken effect July 1, 2026, but died in committee.
