AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 4687
AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 4687 on page 3, line
23, immediately after the period, by inserting "Posting of the
notice and agenda on a website that is maintained by the public
body satisfies the requirement for continuous posting under
this subsection (c). If a notice or agenda is not continuously
available for the full 48-hour period due to actions outside of
the control of the public body, then that lack of availability
does not invalidate any meeting or action taken at a meeting.".
