Summary

The legislation amends the Open Meetings Act and the Freedom of Information Act to include nongovernmental organizations that receive state funding equal to or less than the lesser of $10,000 or 20 % of their total budget in the definition of “public body.” Those NGOs would then be required to follow the same notice, meeting‑access, and public‑records rules as government agencies. Specific entities such as child‑death review teams and youth advisory boards are expressly excluded.
