Bill Summary

For legislation to make the General Court subject to the open meeting law. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to make the General Court (the Massachusetts state legislature) subject to the open meeting law. The open meeting law requires that meetings of public bodies be open to the public, with certain exceptions. Currently, the General Court is exempt from the open meeting law, but this bill would remove that exemption, making the legislature subject to the same transparency requirements as other public bodies.
