Bill > HB1066

This bill amends the Open Meetings Act to allow a member of a public body to attend a meeting by video or audio conference if the member is prevented from physically attending due to childcare obligations, in addition to the existing reasons of personal illness, disability, employment purposes, or a family or other emergency. The bill sets out specific conditions and procedures that must be followed for a member to attend remotely, including notifying the clerk or recording secretary, and for the public body to conduct a meeting remotely during a declared public health disaster.
