SB 27 would amend code regarding open meetings act for
institutions of higher education to include that the meeting must be broadcast over the internet and there must be an online archive located on the Internet

Eliminating regulatory barriers and promoting methods that help monitor government actions will result in a more honest, open government. SB 27 would increase transparency and would help reduce
the workload for responding to open records requests. This bill affirms the principle of limited government, therefore we support this legislation.
