| 1 | AN ACT concerning government.
| ||||||
| 2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||
| 3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||||
| 4 | Section 5. The Open Meetings Act is amended by changing | ||||||
| 5 | Section 2.03 as follows:
| ||||||
| 6 | (5 ILCS 120/2.03) (from Ch. 102, par. 42.03)
| ||||||
| 7 | Sec. 2.03.
In addition to the notice required by Section | ||||||
| 8 | 2.02, each body
subject to this Act must, at the beginning of | ||||||
| 9 | each calendar or fiscal year,
prepare and make available a | ||||||
| 10 | schedule of all its regular meetings for such
calendar or | ||||||
| 11 | fiscal year, listing the times and places of such meetings.
| ||||||
| 12 | If a change is made in regular meeting dates, times, or | ||||||
| 13 | locations, at least 10 days' notice
of such change shall be | ||||||
| 14 | given by publication in a newspaper of general
circulation in | ||||||
| 15 | the area in which such body functions. At least 10 days' notice | ||||||
| 16 | of a change made in regular meeting dates, times, or locations | ||||||
| 17 | may also be provided on the website of the public body in | ||||||
| 18 | addition to providing notice in a newspaper, or in lieu of | ||||||
| 19 | providing notice in a newspaper if there is no such newspaper | ||||||
| 20 | of general circulation in the area in which the public body | ||||||
| 21 | functions. However, in the case
of bodies of local governmental | ||||||
| 22 | units with a population of less than 500 in
which no newspaper | ||||||
| 23 | is published, such 10 days' notice may be given by
posting a | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | notice of such change in at least 3 prominent places within the
| ||||||
| 2 | governmental unit. Notice of such change shall also be posted | ||||||
| 3 | at the
principal office of the public body or, if no such | ||||||
| 4 | office exists, at the
building in which the meeting is to be | ||||||
| 5 | held. Notice of such change shall
also be supplied to those | ||||||
| 6 | news media which have filed an annual request for
notice as | ||||||
| 7 | provided in paragraph (b) of Section 2.02.
