The bill has moved to the House floor.

INDIANAPOLIS – School boards could soon be required to allow public comment at meetings.

House Bill 1130 unanimously passed the House government and regulatory reform committee on Wednesday.

The bill does allow school boards to remove intentionally disruptive persons to maintain order at meetings.

House Bill 1130 now moves to the House floor for consideration.
