What to know
18 hours applies to special, rescheduled and irregular meetings; the regular schedule is posted within 10 days of the first meeting of the year. Approved minutes within 5 business days of approval.
Local charters, ordinances and board bylaws often require more notice than state law. When they do, follow the stricter rule — in CivicPorch you can set a board's own notice period and reminders use it.
Work out a deadline
This is general information, not legal advice. Statutes have exceptions (emergencies, recessed meetings, holidays) — check with your solicitor or municipal attorney when in doubt.
