| Sections 2.02 and 2.06 as follows:
| 6 |
| (5 ILCS 120/2.02) (from Ch. 102, par. 42.02)
| 7 |
| Sec. 2.02. Public notice of all meetings, whether open or | 8 |
| closed to
the public, shall be given as follows:
| 9 |
| (a) Every public body shall give public notice
of the | 10 |
| schedule of regular meetings at the beginning of each calendar | 11 |
| or fiscal
year and shall state the regular dates, times, and | 12 |
| places of such meetings.
An agenda for each regular meeting | 13 |
| shall be posted at the principal office of
the public body and | 14 |
| at the location where the meeting is to be held at least 48 | 15 |
| hours in
advance of the holding of the meeting. A public body | 16 |
| (other than a school district) that has a website that the | 17 |
| full-time staff of the public body maintains shall also post on | 18 |
| its website the agenda of any regular meetings of the governing | 19 |
| body of that public body. Any agenda of a regular meeting that | 20 |
| is posted on a public body's website shall remain posted on the | 21 |
| website until the regular meeting is concluded. The requirement | 22 |
| of a regular
meeting agenda shall not preclude the | 23 |
| consideration of items not specifically
set forth in the |
|
|
|
SB1155 |

| agenda.
Public
notice of any special meeting except a meeting | 2 |
| held in the event of a
bona fide emergency, or of any | 3 |
| rescheduled regular meeting, or of any
reconvened meeting, | 4 |
| shall be given at least 48 hours before such
meeting, which | 5 |
| notice shall also include the agenda for the special,
| 6 |
| rescheduled,
or reconvened meeting, but the validity of any | 7 |
| action taken by the public
body which is germane to a subject | 8 |
| on the agenda shall not be affected by
other errors or | 9 |
| omissions in the agenda. The requirement
of public notice of | 10 |
| reconvened meetings does
not apply to any case where the | 11 |
| meeting was open to the public and (1)
it is to be reconvened | 12 |
| within 24 hours, or (2) an announcement of
the time and place | 13 |
| of the reconvened meeting was
made at the original meeting and | 14 |
| there is no change in the agenda. Notice
of an emergency | 15 |
| meeting shall be given as soon as practicable, but in any
event | 16 |
| prior to the holding of such meeting, to any news medium which | 17 |
| has
filed an annual request for notice under subsection (b) of | 18 |
| this Section.
| 19 |
| (b) Public notice shall be given by posting a copy of the | 20 |
| notice at the
principal office of the body holding the meeting | 21 |
| or, if no such office exists,
at the building in which the | 22 |
| meeting
is to be held. In addition, a public body (other than a | 23 |
| school district) that has a website that the full-time staff of | 24 |
| the public body maintains shall post notice on its website of | 25 |
| all meetings of the governing body of the public body. Any | 26 |
| notice of an annual schedule of meetings shall remain on the |
|
|
|
SB1155 |

LRB095 04472 NHT 24519 b |
|
| 1 |
| website until a new public notice of the schedule of regular | 2 |
| meetings is approved. Any notice of a regular meeting that is | 3 |
| posted on a public body's website shall remain posted on the | 4 |
| website until the regular meeting is concluded. The body shall | 5 |
| supply copies of the notice of its regular
meetings, and of the | 6 |
| notice of any special,
emergency, rescheduled or reconvened | 7 |
| meeting, to any news medium
that has filed an annual request | 8 |
| for such notice. Any such news
medium shall also be given the | 9 |
| same notice of all special,
emergency, rescheduled or | 10 |
| reconvened meetings in the same manner as
is given to members | 11 |
| of the body provided such news medium has given the
public body | 12 |
| an address or telephone number within the territorial | 13 |
| jurisdiction
of the public body at which such notice may be | 14 |
| given. The failure of a public body to post on its website | 15 |
| notice of any meeting or the agenda of any meeting shall not | 16 |
| invalidate any meeting or any actions taken at a meeting.

| recording.

| present or absent and whether the members were physically | 2 |

| 3 |
| and
| 4 |
| (3) a summary of discussion on all matters proposed, | 5 |
| deliberated,

| 6 |
| (b) The minutes of meetings open to the public shall be | 7 |
| available for
public inspection within 7 days of the approval | 8 |
| of such minutes by the public
body. Beginning July 1, 2006, at | 9 |
| the time it complies with the other requirements of this | 10 |
| subsection, a public body (other than a school district) that | 11 |
| has a website that the full-time staff of the public body | 12 |
| maintains shall post the minutes of a regular meeting of its | 13 |
| governing body open to the public on the public body's website | 14 |
| within 7 days of the approval of the minutes by the public | 15 |
| body. Beginning July 1, 2006, any minutes of meetings open to | 16 |
| the public posted on the public body's website shall remain | 17 |
| posted on the website for at least 60 days after their initial | 18 |
| posting.
| 19 |
| (c) The verbatim record may be destroyed without | 20 |
| notification to or the
approval of a records commission or the | 21 |
| State Archivist under the Local Records
Act or the State | 22 |
| Records Act no less than 18 months after the completion of the
| 23 |
| meeting recorded but only after:
| 24 |
| (1) the public body
approves the destruction of a | 25 |
| particular recording; and

| (2) the public body approves minutes of the closed |

| meeting that meet the
written minutes requirements of | 2 |
| subsection (a) of this Section.
| 3 |
| (d) Each public body shall periodically, but no less than
| 4 |
| semi-annually,
meet to review minutes of all closed meetings. | 5 |
| At such
meetings a determination shall be made, and reported in | 6 |
| an open session that
(1) the need for confidentiality still | 7 |
| exists as to all or part of those
minutes or (2) that the | 8 |
| minutes or portions thereof no
longer require
confidential
| 9 |
| treatment and are available for public inspection. The failure | 10 |
| of a public body to strictly comply with the semi-annual review | 11 |
| of closed session written minutes, whether before or after the | 12 |
| effective date of this amendatory Act of the 94th General | 13 |
| Assembly, shall not cause the written minutes or related | 14 |
| verbatim record to become public or available for inspection in | 15 |
| any judicial proceeding, other than a proceeding involving an | 16 |
| alleged violation of this Act, if the public body, within 60 | 17 |
| days of discovering its failure to strictly comply with the | 18 |
| technical requirements of this subsection, reviews the closed | 19 |
| session minutes and determines and thereafter reports in open | 20 |
| session that either (1) the need for confidentiality still | 21 |
| exists as to all or part of the minutes or verbatim record, or | 22 |
| (2) that the minutes or recordings or portions thereof no | 23 |
| longer require confidential treatment and are available for | 24 |
| public inspection.
| 25 |
| (e) Unless the public body has made a determination that | 26 |
| the verbatim
recording no longer requires confidential |

| treatment or otherwise consents to
disclosure, the verbatim | 2 |
| record of a meeting closed to the public shall not be
open for | 3 |
| public inspection or subject to discovery in any administrative
| 4 |
| or judicial proceeding other than one brought to enforce this | 5 |
| Act. In the case of a civil
action brought to enforce this Act, | 6 |
| the court, if the judge believes such an examination is | 7 |
| necessary, must conduct such in camera
examination of the | 8 |
| verbatim record as it finds appropriate in order to
determine | 9 |
| whether there has been a violation of this Act. In the case of | 10 |
| a
criminal proceeding, the court may conduct an
examination in | 11 |
| order to
determine what portions, if any, must be made | 12 |
| available to the parties for use
as evidence in the | 13 |
| prosecution. Any such initial inspection must be held in | 14 |
| camera. If the court
determines that a complaint or suit | 15 |
| brought for noncompliance under this Act
is valid it may, for | 16 |
| the purposes of discovery, redact from the minutes of the
| 17 |
| meeting closed to the public any information deemed to qualify | 18 |
| under the
attorney-client privilege. The provisions of this | 19 |
| subsection do not supersede
the privacy or confidentiality | 20 |
| provisions of State or federal law.
| 21 |
| (f) Minutes of meetings closed to the public shall be | 22 |
| available only after
the public body determines that it is no | 23 |
| longer necessary to protect the public
interest or the privacy | 24 |
| of an individual by keeping them confidential.

again permit the occurrence of | 13 |
