What to know
Less than 24 hours (at least 2) only for good cause. No statutory minutes deadline, but motions and roll-call votes must be recorded.
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.
