Bill > HB4563

This bill amends the Open Meetings Act to provide for electronic hearings of the tax tribunal. Specifically, it exempts electronic proceedings held pursuant to the Tax Tribunal Act from the prerequisites for holding an electronic public meeting, such as requiring that members be absent due to military duty or a medical condition. This allows the tax tribunal to hold electronic hearings without those specific limitations. The bill also makes other changes to the rules around electronic public meetings, such as posting agenda and participation information online. The bill is tie-barred with House Bill 4564, meaning it will not take effect unless that related bill is also enacted.
