Bill > H2817

This bill amends Section 18 of Chapter 30A of the General Laws, which is the state's open meeting law, by removing the exemption for "the general court or the committees or recess committees thereof" from the definition of a "Public Body." This means that the General Court, which refers to the Massachusetts state legislature, and its committees, including those that meet during recesses, will now be subject to the requirements of the open meeting law, ensuring that their meetings are generally open to the public.
