Bill overview
This bill allows public bodies, including licensing boards, to hold meetings electronically, particularly under specific circumstances. It outlines when remote participation is permitted, such as before March 2021, during local state of emergency declarations, or for bodies with specific responsibilities like agricultural commodity groups or those managing public employee retirement systems. The bill also includes requirements for accessibility, public notice, and ensuring effective communication during electronic meetings, while establishing limitations on remote voting for licensing board members.
