Changes to the state's Sunshine Act went into effect August 29, 2021, as a result of Act 65 of 2021, signed in June.

Sunshine Law require any state or local government body and its sub-units to disclose prior notice of meetings and allows the public to attend, participate and comment before an action is made.

The changes are as follows:

• There must be a written agenda posted at the location of the meeting and on the organization's website at least 24 hours prior to the meeting.
• Once posted, the agenda cannot be changed.
• If a topic is not on the agenda, the board cannot act, with limited exceptions.
• Paper copies of the agenda must be available to the public at the meeting.
