Closed meetings could only be held after a roll call vote, certain actions taken in closed meetings would be made public within seventy-two hours, and complaint and penalty procedures for violations would be specified.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
