The Ohio Open Meetings Act

Ohio’s Open Meetings Act (R.C. 121.22) requires public bodies to take official action and conduct all deliberations of official business in open meetings that the public may attend and observe. Public bodies must provide advance notice of meetings that state when and where a meeting will take place and, in the case of special meetings, the specific topic(s) that the public body will discuss. A public body must take full and accurate minutes of all meetings and make these minutes available to the public. Executive sessions are part of a meeting that are closed to the public. Public bodies must follow a specific process to convene in an executive session and can convene to discuss only nine specific topics.
