SB0243

Illinois SB0243 allows service members on active military duty to attend public body meetings via video or audio conference.

Illinois SB0243 amends the Open Meetings Act to allow service members on active military duty to attend meetings via video or audio conference. This provision applies if a quorum of the public body is physically present. The bill defines "active military duty" and "service member" and specifies that the public body must bear the costs associated with compliance. The changes take effect immediately upon becoming law.
