Bill Summary
A bill to amend 1976 PA 267, entitled"Open meetings act,"by amending section 3a (MCL 15.263a), as amended by 2023 PA 214.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Open Meetings Act to allow the Children Trust Michigan Board, a state board responsible for preventing child abuse and neglect, to hold meetings remotely under certain circumstances, similar to how other public bodies can meet electronically. This means that the Children Trust Michigan Board can now conduct meetings via telephonic or video conferencing, provided they follow the act's requirements for public access and two-way communication, and can do so for any reason, including accommodating absent members, just as agricultural commodity groups and certain retirement system boards can. The bill also clarifies that for meetings where members are absent due to military duty or a medical condition, only those specific members can participate remotely, unless the meeting falls under the broader remote meeting provisions for agricultural groups, retirement boards, joint energy agencies, or the Children Trust Michigan Board.
