S.B. No. 413 amends Section 11.0621 of the Education Code regarding the meetings of the boards of trustees of independent school districts. The bill requires that the minutes of regular or special meetings reflect each member's attendance and vote on any items discussed. Additionally, it mandates that the board of trustees post these minutes on the district's website within seven days of the meeting, along with any resolutions adopted during that meeting. The bill also stipulates that a recording of each meeting must be made.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that the minutes and recordings of open meetings must be accessible to the public in accordance with existing laws. The changes include the removal of the requirement for a certified agenda or tape recording, replacing it with a focus on the minutes and their timely posting online. This legislation is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
