The bill amends the Freedom of Information Act of 1967 to include all communications with the Board of Apportionment as public records. It introduces a new section, 25-19-113, which specifies that communications to and from the Board must be in written, electronic, or recorded oral formats during public meetings. This inclusion ensures that such communications are subject to the same transparency requirements as other public records under the Freedom of Information Act.

Additionally, the bill establishes a penalty for violations of this new provision. Specifically, it states that any person who knowingly fails to comply with the communication requirements outlined in subsection (a)(1) will be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor upon conviction. This measure aims to enhance accountability and transparency in the operations of the Board of Apportionment.
