AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 3131

AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 3131 on page 3 by replacing lines 16 through 23 with the following:

"(c) The public body conducting a meeting must take reasonable steps to ensure that a copy of the notice and agenda required to be posted under this Section is continuously available for public review during the entire 48-hour period preceding the meeting. Publication of the notice and agenda on a website that is maintained by the public body satisfies the requirement for continuous posting under this subsection (c). If a notice or agenda is not continuously available for the full 48-hour period due to actions outside of the control of the public body, then that lack of availability does not invalidate any meeting or action taken at a meeting.".
