Establishes general requirements for meetings of governing bodies of political subdivisions

This bill requires local government bodies in Missouri, such as counties and cities, to adopt a public meeting speaker policy by July 1, 2027. The policy must include a public comment period at the start of each regular meeting, allow all residents, businesses, and taxpayers to speak on any topic, and set a minimum speaking time of three minutes per person. It also limits reasons for removing or banning individuals from meetings and requires a way for people to submit written comments if they cannot attend.
