Bill > SB1

This bill amends the Open Meetings Law, which requires public bodies to conduct their business in public, to allow for electronic voting. Specifically, it clarifies that electronic voting machines that display and record how each member votes will be considered a valid form of "viva voce" voting, meaning voting by spoken word, and will therefore satisfy the law's requirements for how votes must be cast and recorded in official minutes. This change is intended to modernize voting procedures for public bodies while still ensuring transparency and public access to how officials vote.
