This bill aims to revise public notice requirements by allowing agencies to publish meeting agendas on their official websites or social media pages, provided they have such platforms. Additionally, it mandates that local governments and school boards must publish their meeting agendas prior to the meetings, ensuring greater transparency and accessibility for the public.

The bill amends several sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), specifically sections 2-3-103, 7-1-2121, 7-1-4127, 7-3-304, 7-3-503, 7-3-606, 20-3-322, 20-9-204, and 20-20-105. These amendments are intended to streamline the process of public notification and enhance the public's ability to stay informed about governmental meetings and decisions.
