Bill Summary

To exempt the deliberation of public bodies at town meeting from the open meeting law.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to exempt the deliberation of public bodies at town meetings from the open meeting law. Specifically, it would amend the Massachusetts General Laws to insert the word "materials" after the word "meeting" in the relevant section, and to change the figure "23" to "22" in another section related to the open meeting law. These changes are intended to provide an exemption for the deliberations that occur during town meetings, which are a common form of local government in New England.
