Virtual Open Meetings Authority Extension Emergency Amendment Act of 2025

This bill amends the District of Columbia's Open Meetings Act of 2010 to clarify that virtual meetings are considered "open to the public" if public bodies take reasonable steps to allow real-time viewing or listening, or as soon as feasible afterward if technology prevents live access. It directly affects District government bodies (like committees and agencies) that hold public meetings. The key change adds specific language to the law defining "open meetings" to explicitly include virtual access options, replacing outdated requirements. The amendment takes effect immediately upon approval but expires after 90 days as an emergency measure.
