Summary

HB 1231 amends the state code so county boards of supervisors must give at least three business days’ notice before a special meeting, instead of the previous five‑day requirement. Notices must be posted at the courthouse, published in a county newspaper, and posted on the county’s website or social‑media page for the three‑day period. The change is intended to give counties more flexibility while still keeping the public informed.
