AI Summary
This bill amends the "Senator Byron M. Baer Open Public Meetings Act" to require all municipalities and boards of education to video record their public meetings, including any emergency meetings. These video recordings must then be posted on the official Internet site of the respective municipality or board of education. The bill also specifies that these video recordings will be considered part of the official meeting minutes and will be made available to the public in the same manner as other minutes, accessible online. Importantly, any portions of the recordings that correspond to minutes that are legally accessible to the public will be released and posted online at the same time the minutes themselves can be legally released, ensuring greater transparency in local government proceedings.
