Interactive technology meetings allowed in certain cases.
HF 3736 allows three specific Minnesota state boards - the Executive Council, State Board, and Minnesota Land Exchange Board - to hold meetings using interactive technology (like video conferencing) when needed to expedite work or address security threats. The bill requires these boards to ensure all participants can hear discussions clearly and to broadcast meetings live for public viewing. It amends three statutes (9.021, 11A.03, and 94.341) to add this flexibility while maintaining transparency. The change directly affects these constitutional boards, whose members include the governor, state auditor, secretary of state, and attorney general. The bill makes no new policy changes but updates meeting procedures for existing state bodies.
