AI Summary

This bill proposes to allow public bodies, such as town select boards or school committees, to use audio or video recordings as official minutes of their meetings, provided these recordings are made by a municipal employee or agent and are accompanied by the meeting notice and agenda, and then certified by the presiding officer or their designee. This change aims to provide an alternative to traditional written minutes, while still allowing public bodies to create written minutes if they choose.
