What changed in the latest version
74 added · 65 removedPlain-language change summary
The amendments to HB 2065 clarify the definition of a "public body." The changes specify that this term includes not only traditional government bodies but also various commissions and entities established by the Arizona Constitution or through ballot initiatives. Additionally, it emphasizes that the rules regarding public meetings apply to these bodies unless specific constitutional provisions indicate otherwise. This matters because it broadens the scope of transparency and accountability in governmental discussions and decisions, ensuring more public oversight.
