Chamber Passed·3/23/26

Oklahoma HB3627 allows public bodies to hold meetings via videoconference, with exceptions for certain committees.

Oklahoma HB3627 amends the state's open meetings law to allow public bodies to hold meetings via videoconference, provided each member is visible and audible to others. Exceptions include executive sessions for the Oklahoma Tax Commission, Statewide Independent Living Council, and State Committee of Blind Vendors, which can use videoconference technology without requiring physical presence as long as members are audible or visible. The meeting notice must detail the videoconference sites and the identity of each member.
