HB 967 -- Public Governmental Body Meetings

Sponsor:  Bivins

This bill requires any public governmental body to make and
retain a verbatim audio recording of any closed meeting.  The
audio recording will not be available for public inspection, but
can be examined privately by a judge in a civil action to
determine if there has been a violation of the Open Meetings Law,
commonly referred to as the Sunshine Law.  The penalty provision
is repealed for the illegal recording of a closed meeting without
permission from the public body.
