Texas HB 1522 – New Open Meetings Act Posting Deadline

Texas has a new law, HB 1522, that changes the posting deadline for public meetings. Instead of posting at least 72 hours ahead of time, local governments now have to post notices three business days before the meeting. This can get tricky when a meeting falls right after a weekend or holiday.

The change is intended to increase public awareness and participation in public meetings.  Certain exceptions still apply.
