This bill amends the freedom of access laws to require 72 hours of notice prior to a public meeting and to require the public notice to include an agenda listing the items to be discussed at the public meeting. An item not on the agenda may not be discussed at the meeting.

This bill also increases the penalties that may be imposed on a state government agency or local government entity for a violation of the freedom of access laws. Any government action taken at a meeting that is held in violation of the freedom of access laws is considered void unless the violation is acknowledged and the action is reconsidered.
