New Jersey A549 requires municipal governing bodies to provide electronic notice of meetings via the Internet.
New Jersey A549 amends the "Senator Byron M. Baer Open Public Meetings Act" to mandate that municipal governing bodies provide electronic notice of their meetings through the Internet. This notice must be available at least 48 hours in advance, detailing the time, date, location, and agenda of the meeting, and whether formal action may be taken. The bill allows for exceptions in cases of urgent matters. It also permits reimbursement from the Department of the Treasury for additional costs incurred by municipalities to implement these electronic notice requirements.
