AI Summary
This bill amends the definition of "Public Body" in the Massachusetts General Laws to include the General Court (the state legislature) and its committees, which will subject them to the state's open meeting law. The open meeting law requires public bodies to hold meetings that are open to the public, with certain exceptions. This change will increase transparency and public access to the legislative process in Massachusetts.
