What to know
Regular meetings need a "reasonable method" of notice set by rule; special meetings need 24 hours to media that requested it. Minutes must be promptly prepared.
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.
