Bill reported favorably by committee and referred to the committee on Senate Ways and Means

Summary

The bill changes state law so a screening committee chair can hold a closed‑door interview if an open meeting would make it harder to attract qualified candidates. It does not permit closed sessions for applicants who have already passed a prior screening, and it confirms that local elected officials may serve on these committees. The goal is to give municipalities more flexibility in hiring while keeping later stages transparent.
