Summary

The bill changes the definition of “public body” in the Open Meetings Act and the Freedom of Information Act to include nonprofit organizations that receive the lesser of $10,000 or 20% of their funding from the state. Those NGOs would then be required to hold open meetings and make their records publicly available, just like government agencies. The change is intended to increase transparency for entities that receive state money.
