with the requirement to post physical notice at the office or
2
building of the meeting if the notice is timely posted on that
3
public body's website. The public body must comply with all
4
other notice requirements set forth in this Act.
Any notice of
5
an annual schedule of meetings shall remain on the website
6
until a new public notice of the schedule of regular meetings
7
is approved. Any notice of a regular meeting that is posted on
8
a public body's website shall remain posted on the website
9
until the regular meeting is concluded. The body shall supply
10
copies of the notice of its regular meetings, and of the notice
11
of any special, emergency, rescheduled or reconvened meeting,
12
to any news medium that has filed an annual request for such
13
notice. Any such news medium shall also be given the same
14
notice of all special, emergency, rescheduled or reconvened
15
meetings in the same manner as is given to members of the body
16
provided such news medium has given the public body an address
17
or telephone number within the territorial jurisdiction of the
18
public body at which such notice may be given. The failure of a
19
public body to post on its website notice of any meeting or the
20
agenda of any meeting shall not invalidate any meeting or any
21
actions taken at a meeting.
22

(c) Any agenda required under this Section shall set forth
23
the general subject matter of any resolution or ordinance that
24
will be the subject of final action at the meeting. The public
25
body conducting a public meeting shall ensure that at least
26
one copy of any requested notice and agenda for the meeting is

1
continuously available for public review during the entire
2
48-hour period preceding the meeting. Posting of the notice
3
and agenda on a website that is maintained by the public body
4
satisfies the requirement for continuous posting under this
5
subsection (c). If a notice or agenda is not continuously
6
available for the full 48-hour period due to actions outside
7
of the control of the public body, then that lack of
8
availability does not invalidate any meeting or action taken
9
at a meeting.
