Bill > S08793

This bill, titled the "Access for All Act (AFA)", amends the Public Officers Law to remove the requirement for in-person attendance at public meetings by community boards in a city with a population of over one million. The bill allows these community boards to establish written procedures to allow members to participate and fulfill quorum requirements through videoconferencing, while still meeting the other criteria set forth in the law. The bill takes effect immediately but the amendments will be repealed when the underlying section of the law is repealed.
