The bill amends Section 74-204 of the Idaho Code, which pertains to the Open Meetings Law, by introducing new provisions regarding the handling of multiple action items on meeting agendas. Specifically, it stipulates that any action item that includes more than one action or decision, such as those found in a consent calendar or consent agenda, must be approved by unanimous consent from all voting members. If unanimous consent is not achieved, each item must be voted on separately as individual action items.

Additionally, the bill maintains existing requirements for meeting notices and agendas, including the need for a five-day notice for regular meetings and a 24-hour notice for special meetings, while also emphasizing the importance of posting these notices both physically and electronically. The bill declares an emergency, making it effective from July 1, 2025.
