Senate Bill 47 updates the rules for when public boards and government bodies can hold private executive sessions by clarifying that executive sessions cannot include independent contractors when discussing employee qualifications, and by reorganizing the reasons meetings can be closed (such as discussing student discipline, legal matters, or security vulnerabilities). The bill streamlines the existing law by removing redundant language and making the criteria for closed meetings clearer and more specific.
