Van Zandt County commissioners acknowledged a change in state law — House Bill 1522 — that increased public notice requirements for governmental meetings and added budget-notice obligations. The county judge told the court that HB1522, effective Sept. 1, requires government bodies to post meeting notices at least three business days before a scheduled meeting rather than the prior 72-hour rule, and that meetings at which budgets will be discussed or adopted must include a physical copy of the budget in the posted notice unless the budget is clearly accessible on the governmental body's website. The judge said the county already posts its budget online and is complying with the access requirement. The acknowledgement requires no court action beyond recordation; commissioners discussed prior agenda-planning changes made to meet the new timeline for Wednesday meetings.
