It defines remote participation as attending via technology while not being at the meeting location and grants these remote members the right to vote and count toward a quorum. The law requires that all participants be clearly audible, mandates that the public have free access to virtual meetings through audio or video means, and ensures that parties required to appear before these bodies can do so remotely.
