- Title
- Meetings of governmental bodies, with members from two or more counties, participation by electronic means authorized under certain conditions, may be counted for a quorum, means of access required to be published, Sec. 36-25A-5.1 am'd.
- Description
Under existing law, members of certain governmental bodies may participate in a meeting of that body by certain electronic means. Members participating by electronic means do not count towards a quorum and may not participate in executive sessions.
This bill would provide that members participating by electronic means are present for all purposes so long as a certain number of members are physically present, and would remove a prohibition on participation in executive sessions by members through electronic means.
This bill would also provide that members of the public be allowed to participate in a meeting held by electronic means.
This bill would make nonsubstantive, technical revisions to update the existing code language to current style.
