Open meetings bill eyed by Ohio Senate
The Sunshine Bill by State Senator Robert Freeman aims to curb executive sessions for public bodies while allowing certain private discussions. Critics warn of too many exceptions, and amendments favor limited closed talks for employee discipline, property bargaining, bargaining prep, federal-confidential matters, and security details. The measure requires 24 hour advance notice to news media for special meetings and emergency alerts, with enforcement via injunctions and possible recalls by court action.
