Clarifies and amends the District of Columbia's open meetings policy to allow for more flexibility in public access and meeting procedures.

The bill amends the District of Columbia's open meetings policy to allow public bodies to make reasonable arrangements for public attendance or viewing of meetings. It modifies the definition of urgent matters and allows for recorded votes instead of roll call votes. The bill also expands the types of meetings covered by the open meetings policy to include gatherings of councilmembers. It specifies that the policy does not apply to meetings between councilmembers and the Mayor if no official action is decided.
