Amends the Open Meetings Act to allow service members to attend meetings via video or audio conference.
The bill amends the Open Meetings Act to allow members of public bodies to attend meetings by video or audio conference if they are unable to attend in person due to active military duty. It specifies that a majority of the public body can permit such attendance. The bill also outlines conditions for remote attendance, including the need for a quorum to be physically present, verification of all participants' presence, and the requirement for verbatim recording of meetings. It defines "active military duty" and "service member" and excludes certain bodies from these provisions.
