Extends the statute of limitations on meetings in violation of the Act to 180 days. Effective immediately.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1

Permits the court to redact such communication from the minutes of a closed meeting subject to discovery. Returns the period for filing complaints of open meetings violations to 60 days, except that the period is one year after discovery by a State's Attorney of a violation.

 SB 1586 (SA #1) outlines additional procedures for local governments to follow regarding conduct of official meetings. It is anticipated that the provisions of the legislation will require the expenditure of additional funds, but the amount cannot be estimated at this time.
