Clarifies and amends the District of Columbia's Open Meetings Act to better define exceptions and requirements.

The Open Meetings Clarification Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 amends the District of Columbia's Open Meetings Act. It specifies that meetings between Council members and the Mayor are exempt if no official action is decided. It also modifies the notice requirements for meetings and gatherings of councilmembers, ensuring they remain open to the public unless specific exceptions apply. The act further refines the definition of "meeting" and includes additional exceptions, such as briefings on confidential negotiations.
