S.B. No. 1504 amends the regulations governing meetings of the board of directors of the Gulf Coast Authority. The bill modifies Section 2.07 of Chapter 409, removing the requirement for the board to meet at least once a month and allowing for meetings to be held "regularly as necessary." It introduces provisions that permit the board to conduct meetings via telephone conference calls, videoconferences, or other telecommunication methods, regardless of existing laws. Additionally, it stipulates that a presiding director must be physically present at a public location during open portions of the meeting, and that a video and audio feed must be accessible to the public.

The bill also establishes that a director participating remotely will be considered absent if their audio or video connection is lost during the meeting. Furthermore, it mandates that meetings conducted through telecommunication methods must adhere to the same notice requirements as traditional board meetings. The act is set to take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds vote from both houses or on September 1, 2025, if that threshold is not met.
