Digest
HB 4991 mandates open meetings and public information training for attorneys representing public officials or government bodies. It requires these attorneys to complete training within 10 days of employment and specifies that they cannot be compensated for training time unless they are full-time government employees. Additionally, the bill ensures that public officials themselves, even if they designate a public information coordinator, must complete training on the state's Public Information Act and Open Meetings Act​.
