House Bill No. [insert number] enacts R.S. 42:1136, which mandates the live broadcast of all public meetings held by the Board of Ethics and the Supervisory Committee on Campaign Finance Disclosure. The bill requires that these meetings be recorded and made available in an online archive for public access for a minimum of two years. It also outlines exceptions to the broadcasting requirement, such as for executive sessions and private hearings, and specifies that technological failures beyond the Board's control do not constitute a violation of the law. Additionally, the Board is tasked with establishing standards for the use of equipment to maintain decorum during meetings.

To facilitate the implementation of this act, the Board of Ethics and the Supervisory Committee must utilize state-owned or leased meeting spaces equipped for broadcasting. All state government entities and political subdivisions are required to assist in providing suitable locations and equipment as necessary. The provisions of this act will take effect on January 1, 2026.
