Bill > HF3295

This bill amends the Open Meeting Law to allow public bodies, with some exceptions, to broadcast their meetings live through social media platforms, provided that these platforms do not require users to have an account to view the broadcast and that no comment feature is offered during the live stream. Public bodies using social media for broadcasting must include this information in their meeting notices, detailing how the broadcast can be accessed and, if public comments are allowed, the process for submitting them remotely. The bill clarifies that this does not permit meetings to be conducted entirely through social media if the technology doesn't meet existing requirements for interactive participation, and it defines "public body" for the purposes of this provision.
