S.B. No. 413 amends Section 11.0621 of the Education Code, focusing on the requirements for meetings of the boards of trustees of independent school districts. The bill mandates that the minutes of regular or special meetings must now reflect each member's attendance or absence, as well as their votes on any items discussed. Additionally, it requires the board of trustees to post these minutes on the district's Internet website within seven days of the meeting, along with any resolutions adopted during that meeting.

The bill also clarifies that the minutes and tape recordings of open meetings must be accessible to the public in accordance with existing laws. The changes aim to enhance transparency and accountability in school district governance. This act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
