Civil rights: open meetings; remote meeting participation of certain public body members with disabilities; provide for. Amends sec. 3a of 1976 PA 267 (MCL 15.263a).

This bill amends Michigan's Open Meetings Act to allow public bodies to hold meetings remotely for members with disabilities or those on military duty. It establishes specific rules for when remote attendance is permitted, such as requiring all non-disabled members to be physically present after December 31, 2021, while exempting certain agricultural and retirement system groups from this restriction. The legislation also mandates that electronic meetings must support two-way communication between members and the public, including options for typed comments during public speaking periods. Additionally, it defines disability as a condition that substantially limits major life activities and clarifies that a physical meeting location is not required for these electronic sessions.
