Less Government, Lower Taxes and More Freedom - 2014 Legislative Session Day 2

My first committee meeting of the day is in Government Operations and Elections where we’re considering three bills. House Bill 2105 requires public agencies with governing bodies to post meeting agendas online at least 24 hours in advance of a regular meeting and exempts agencies that do not have websites or that have five or fewer full-time equivalent employees from posting agendas online.

Engrossed House Bill 1279 allows 16- and 17-year-olds to preregister to vote when applying for a driver's license or identicard.

House Bill 2121 requires training for members of a governing body of a public agency on the Open Public Meetings Act; requires training for elected state and local officials and agency public records officers on the Public Records Act; and requires training for elected state and local officials and agency records retention officers on the preservation and destruction of public records.

The Governor’s State of the State Address is scheduled for 12:00 PM today. I’ll be posting a response to the Governor’s statement later today.
