Bill > HB4898

This bill amends the Open Meetings Act to allow public bodies to conduct open or closed meetings by audio or video conference, without the physical presence of a quorum, if the National Weather Service has determined that all or part of the jurisdiction of the public body is located within an area subject to a severe weather alert on the day of the meeting. The bill also requires the head of the public body to determine that an in-person meeting is not practical or prudent due to the severe weather alert. The bill sets out various procedural requirements for such remote meetings, including providing notice, ensuring public access, and recording the proceedings.
