HB 1102 – Executive Sessions

HB 1102 tweaks the open meetings law. Current law allows a governing body to hold executive sessions (outside the view of the public) to discuss strategy about pending, threatened, or initiating litigation. HB 1102 specifies that “litigation” means “any judicial action or administrative law proceeding under federal or state law.”

It also exempts from the definition of “meeting” “collective bargaining discussions that the governing body of a school corporation engages in directly with bargaining adversaries.”
