The bill amends R.S. 43:144 to increase the timeframe for officials of municipal corporations, police juries, or school boards to publish minutes of their meetings. Specifically, the bill changes the deadline for submitting these minutes from twenty days to thirty-one days following the meeting.

Additionally, the bill maintains the penalties for officials who fail to comply with this requirement, which include fines ranging from twenty-five to five hundred dollars, imprisonment for a period of ten days to six months, or both. This amendment aims to ensure timely publication of official proceedings while providing a slightly extended deadline for compliance.
