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

HB 136 requires specific training for school board trustees, candidates for school board positions, judges, court personnel, and government officials handling open meetings. It mandates that training must cover open meetings laws, including meeting procedures, notice requirements, and penalties for noncompliance, and be research-based for school boards. Providers must certify completion, and at least one free training option must be available via video or similar medium. The bill updates existing law to standardize training content and accessibility across multiple government roles.
