A bill for an act relating to public meetings and records, including public notice requirements for meetings of a governmental body, supervision and fees associated with examining and copying public records, employment separation information for certain government employees, contractors, or appointees, and injunctions to restrain vexatious requesters.

Summary

The bill updates Iowa’s public‑notice law so that any governmental body must inform the news media that have requested notice, post the meeting information in a clearly marked, always‑visible location, and publish it on the body’s website. If a tentative agenda is altered, the body must label it “AMENDED,” identify the changes, and issue a new notice. This aims to improve transparency for citizens and the press.
