Civil rights: open meetings; members of a public body meeting as a board of a prepaid inpatient health plan; authorize remote meeting participation in certain circumstances. Amends sec. 3a of 1976 PA 267 (MCL 15.263a).

This bill amends Michigan's Open Meetings Act to allow specific public bodies to hold meetings remotely under certain conditions. It authorizes boards governing prepaid inpatient health plans, including regional mental health entities, to permit remote participation if they pass a resolution, ensure a quorum meets in person, and make remote members visible during voting and speaking. The legislation also extends existing remote meeting provisions to agricultural commodity groups, municipal retirement systems, and joint energy agencies, while maintaining requirements for two-way communication and public notice.
