Washington SB6000 modifies rules for public agency governing bodies during natural disaster emergencies.

Washington SB6000 amends rules for public agency governing bodies during natural disaster emergencies. It allows governing bodies to hold remote meetings if they previously held some regular meetings remotely before March 1, 2020. During emergencies, public agencies must provide free real-time access to meetings. Governing bodies can take specific actions during emergencies at remote meetings, but cannot take final action. The bill also allows governing bodies to travel or gather for disaster response purposes without holding formal meetings.
