Publication of proceedings of meetings held by certain governmental bodies

What it would have done

Summary by the Legislative Reference Bureau, the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill authorizes city councils and the boards of villages, counties, school districts, and technical college districts to satisfy their legal obligation to publish the proceedings of regular and special meetings by posting a copy of the proceedings in a public place and electronically placing a copy of the proceedings on the Internet site maintained by the respective governmental unit. Generally, proceedings are defined as the substance of every official action taken by a local governing body at any meeting of the governing body. With some exceptions, current law requires each of these governmental units to publish proceedings of meetings held by the council or board in a newspaper published in the jurisdiction.
