Open Meetings Act of 2026
To amend chapter 15 of title 28, United States Code, with respect to documentation requirements for a meeting of certain conferences and councils.
This bill, HB9408, aims to change the rules about how certain meetings of conferences and councils need to be documented. Specifically, it seeks to amend chapter 15 of title 28 in the United States Code, which currently governs the documentation of such meetings.
The bill would affect those who organize and attend meetings of specific conferences and councils, possibly requiring more detailed or different types of documentation. This could impact how meetings are conducted, ensuring they meet legal transparency standards, and how records are kept and accessed by the public.
As of June 23, 2026, HB9408 has just been introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary for further review. This means it is in the early stages of the legislative process and will need to go through several steps, including committee hearings and potential amendments, before it could be voted on by the full House.
