The bill aims to enhance transparency and public participation in meetings held by governing bodies of agencies in Wyoming. It mandates that, to the extent practicable, public meetings provide live audio or video access and allow for remote participation by the public. Additionally, it establishes that public comment periods must remain open until the specified time has elapsed, and agencies are required to compile and make meeting minutes available on their websites or other accessible locations.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that meetings allowing live audio or video access must be recorded, and these recordings should also be made available to the public. Agencies are prohibited from restricting the broadcast or recording of public meetings unless it is determined that such actions would disrupt the meeting. The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2025.
