Hi

It is my understanding that the statute of limitations is 120 days also. 

Section 107(3) of the Open Meetings Law mandates that the statute of limitations with respect to action taken at executive session runs from the date the minutes of the executive session have been made available to the public.  Otherwise, and with respect to all other action taken, I believe the statute of limitations runs from the date the action is taken.
