Bill overview
This bill modifies the Open Meetings Act to allow public bodies to hold meetings electronically, under specific circumstances. Initially, electronic meetings were permitted for reasons like accommodating absent members, but the bill now expands these allowances to include agricultural commodity groups, public retirement systems, and joint agencies formed under the Michigan Energy Employment Act. It also outlines requirements for notifying the public about electronic meetings, including providing clear instructions on how to participate and ensuring accessibility for people with disabilities.
