requiring that a public body's meeting minutes include start and end times of the meeting and the printed name of the recording secretary.

HB 265 requires all public bodies to include the start and end times of meetings and the printed name of the recording secretary in their official meeting minutes. This applies directly to municipal, county, and state agencies that hold public meetings. The bill mandates these specific details be documented in every meeting record, effective August 22, 2025, after passing both legislative chambers and receiving the governor's signature on June 23, 2025.
