OPEN MEET-PHYSICAL PRESENCE
Summary
Amends the Open Meetings Act. Permits any public body (now, only one with statewide jurisdiction) to satisfy the requirement for physical presence of a quorum at an open meeting by the physical presence of a quorum at more than one location where the meeting is held simultaneously. With respect to a public body with less than statewide jurisdiction, removes the requirement that a quorum of the public body's members be physically present at its closed meetings.
