Document:
A public body may hold an executive session about a federal program, if pertaining to a “discussion, consultation or consideration for international and interstate negotiations.” See A.R.S. § 38-431.03(A)(6). The provision, however, does not apply to meetings at which the public body receives recommendations from a federal agency. Ariz. Att’y Gen. Op. No. I80-159.
There are apparently no statutory provisions dealing with meetings to discuss federal programs. If, however, federal statutes or regulations demand closed sessions, these provisions will be controlling. Ark. Op. Att’y Gen. No. 85-186 (“federal law will control in the event of conflict with state law”).
Open unless matters considered are required to be kept confidential by federal law.
Federal program meetings are open.
The Act does not exempt meetings regarding federal programs.
If administered by state agencies, meetings concerning federal programs are presumably open except to the extent mandated by federal law.
Federal programs generally are not proper subjects of an executive session.
Generally, no exemption under the Act. If the nature of a discussion of a federal program fell within one of the exemptions, the meeting could be closed. See 5 ILCS 120/2.
There is no provision for closing meetings to discuss federal programs, unless authorized by a federal statute or other state statute, see Ind. Code § 5-14-1.5-1; § 5-14-1.5-6.1(b)(7), or unless it fits in the general categories for executive sessions in Ind. Code § 5-14-1.5-6.1(b).
No Iowa statutes governing open meetings, and discussing participation in federal programs, have been found. It should be noted that meetings to discuss records required or authorized by federal law to be kept confidential are not open to the public. Iowa Code § 21.5(1)(a).
Closed only if required by federal law. See Ky. Rev. Stat. 61.810(1)(k).
To the extent that the federal program involves matters exempt under the Act, it may be the subject of a closed session. § 3-305(b).
Open. See City of Reno v. Reno-Gazette-Journal, 119 Nev. 55, 59 (2003).
A meeting of an effective majority of public body to discuss applications for federal grants or other aspects of a federal program is open to the public unless the discussions involve (i) contract negotiations or (ii) anticipated litigation, or (iii) where the release of information would impair the right to receive federal funds. See N.J.S.A. 10:4-12b(2) and (7).
No special or particular provision in the Open Meetings Act; obviously federal law would impact this question as well.
The Open Meetings Law permits a public body to meet in closed session to protect information that federal law directs be kept confidential. G.S. § 143-318.11(a)(1).
Local boards which are supported by federal funds and/or receiving in-kind services at local taxpayer expense are covered under the Act. 1971 OK AG 245. However, such meetings may be closed where disclosure of information would violate confidentiality requirements of federal law. 25 O.S. § 307.B.7.
There is no exemption for discussion of federal programs by governing bodies.
There is no exemption for federal programs.
Presumably open. Specifically, the Act provides that community action agencies that administer community action programs under 42 U.S.C. § 2790, are governing bodies subject to the openness requirements of the Act. T.C.A. § 8-44-102(b).
The Act provides that an agency financed entirely by federal money is not required to conduct an open meeting. Id. at § 551.077.
Meetings concerning federal programs are open to the public.
Generally open except for discussion of information protected from disclosure by federal law. See 1 V.S.A. § 312(e).
No specific provision relates to federal programs.
There is no limit in OPMA on public attendance at meetings to discuss federal programs.
Meetings involving federal programs are not exempted from the requirements that they be open to the public.
Check the pertinent federal and state statutory requirements for specific programs.
