Denney proposing Sunshine Law changes, including increasing penalties

Idaho Secretary of State Lawerence Denney is proposing a series of changes to Idaho’s sunshine laws – including increasing penalties for violations from $250 to $2,500 – that at least initially are drawing positive reviews, reports Melissa Davlin of Idaho Public Televisions’s “Idaho Reports.” Davlin, on the program’s blog site , writes that Denney outlined the proposed changes during an orientation session for new Idaho legislators this week; you can read her full report here .

Denney told Davlin he plans to propose the changes during the upcoming 2017 legislative session; he’ll be shopping the proposed changes around to lawmakers in the coming weeks.
