modify the requirements for open meeting agendas and provide a penalty therefor.

SB 46 requires public bodies in South Dakota to include detailed descriptions of all agenda items in advance of meetings, ensuring the public understands the specific business or policy being discussed. It mandates that agenda items be described "in sufficient detail to reasonably inform the public," directly affecting city councils, school boards, and other local government bodies that hold public meetings. Violating this requirement would be classified as a Class 2 misdemeanor, adding a legal penalty for noncompliance. The bill focuses on improving transparency in local government meetings without changing the substance of deliberations.
