SB 299: Government Transparency Act of 2025.

SB 299, the Government Transparency Act of 2025, requires state agencies, local school boards, community colleges, and area authorities to maintain and publicly disclose general descriptions of employee disciplinary actions - including promotions, demotions, transfers, suspensions, separations, and dismissals - along with the dates and reasons.
