Bill Summary

An Act relating to public meetings; amending 25 O.S. 2021, Section 307.1, as last amended by Section 3, Chapter 369, O.S.L. 2025 (25 O.S. Supp. 2025, Section 307.1), which relates to videoconference exceptions; providing exception for the State Committee of Blind Vendors; requiring members to be audible or visible; providing information meeting notice shall contain; and declaring an emergency.

AI Summary

This bill allows the State Committee of Blind Vendors, an organization that advocates for blind individuals operating vending facilities, to hold meetings, including executive sessions (private meetings for sensitive discussions), using videoconference technology, meaning members can participate remotely as long as they can be heard or seen by other participants. This is an exception to the general rule that a quorum of members must be physically present at a posted meeting location. The bill also clarifies that meeting notices must specify if videoconferencing will be used and identify members participating remotely. This change is declared an emergency, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval to address an urgent public need.
