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 or recess commissions, thereby making them subject to the state's open meeting law. The open meeting law requires certain government bodies to hold meetings that are open to the public, with limited exceptions, in order to promote transparency in government decision-making.
