Relating to training requirements for certain public officials and candidates for public office.

HB 1588 requires certain public officials - including school board members, judges, court staff, and attorneys general staff - to complete mandatory training on legal requirements for open meetings. The training must cover meeting procedures, notice rules, quorum requirements, and penalties for noncompliance, with specific content outlined in the bill. Officials must receive a certificate of completion, which they must maintain for public inspection. Training can be provided through regional education centers or approved providers, and at least one course must be available online at no cost.
