Bill would shorten county special-meeting notice from five days to three
Summary
House Bill 1231 would amend section 19 3 19 to shorten the notice requirement for county special meetings from five days to three business days and require posting on the county's official website or social media at least three days before the meeting. The Senate reported the bill forward by voice vote.
The chair introduced House Bill 1231 and said it would "shorten the requirement for the notice of special meetings of county boards or supervisors from 5 days to 3 business days" and require that notice be posted on the official county website or social media page for at least three days preceding the meeting.
The bill text cited in the session would amend section 19 3 19 and adds a posting requirement intended to make notice more accessible online. "Additionally, it is amended to require that the notice be posted on the official county website or social media web page for the duration of at least 3 days immediately preceding the special meeting," the chair said when presenting the measure.
Senators were asked for questions; none altered the proposal on the floor. The chair called for a motion and conducted a voice vote. The clerk reported the bill as "reported" and moved it forward for the next step in the legislative process; no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.
The bill's change would affect county boards or supervisors across the state by shortening the statutory advance notice and adding a required online posting window. The statute number cited in the presentation was "section 19 3 19."
