Bill > HB1459

This bill allows the governing authority of any county or municipal corporation, which refers to the elected officials who run local governments, to hold meetings by teleconference, meaning they can meet remotely using technology like video conferencing. This change is made to existing law regarding open and public meetings, ensuring that these teleconference meetings are viewable by the public and allow for public commentary without requiring physical presence. Additionally, the bill permits the governing body of any agency composed entirely of nonelected members to also hold meetings by teleconference, with similar requirements for public viewing and commentary.
