| ||||||
| 2 | AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 3131 on page 3 by | ||||||
| 3 | replacing lines 16 through 23 with the following: | ||||||
| 4 | "(c) The public body conducting a meeting must take | ||||||
| 5 | reasonable steps to ensure that a copy of the notice and agenda | ||||||
| 6 | required to be posted under this Section is continuously | ||||||
| 7 | available for public review during the entire 48-hour period | ||||||
| 8 | preceding the meeting. Publication of the notice and agenda on | ||||||
| 9 | a website that is maintained by the public body satisfies the | ||||||
| 10 | requirement for continuous posting under this subsection (c). | ||||||
| 11 | If a notice or agenda is not continuously available for the | ||||||
| 12 | full 48-hour period due to actions outside of the control of | ||||||
| 13 | the public body, then that lack of availability does not | ||||||
| 14 | invalidate any meeting or action taken at a meeting.".
