Requires public bodies under Open Public Meetings Act to display U.S. flag and recite Pledge of Allegiance at beginning of meeting.

This New Jersey bill (A2680) requires all public bodies covered by the Open Public Meetings Act - including city councils, school boards, and other local government bodies - to display a U.S. flag in meeting rooms and recite the Pledge of Allegiance at the start of every meeting. The presiding officer or a designated person must lead attendees in reciting: "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." The law takes immediate effect and applies to all meetings of these public bodies, without exceptions. It is a procedural requirement focused on ceremonial practice, not substantive policy change.
