Require open meetings and records for education membership organizations

SB 145 would have required education membership organizations and associations (like school district groups or teacher associations) that receive public funding to hold public meetings and make their records accessible to the public, following the same standards as government entities. It directly affects these education groups, mandating transparency similar to public government meetings. The bill’s key provision, if enacted, would have required all meetings and records of such organizations to be open to the public. However, the bill died in process in May 2025 after failing to advance beyond committee.
