Open Meetings - As introduced, increases, from 30 to 45, the number of days the office of open records counsel has to acknowledge and approve a plan submitted by a governing body detailing how the body plans to comply with electronic communication requirements that address meeting by means of an internet forum. - Amends TCA Title 8, Chapter 44.

SB 1037 amends Tennessee's open meetings law to extend the deadline for the Office of Open Records Counsel to review and approve governing bodies' plans for electronic communication during meetings. Specifically, it increases the review period from 30 to 45 days. This change directly affects local governments (like city councils and school boards) that must submit compliance plans for virtual or hybrid meetings. The bill makes no substantive changes to meeting rules, only adjusting the administrative timeline for plan approval.
