Allows public bodies to conduct meetings by electronic means.

This bill (S 228) amends New Jersey law to allow public bodies to conduct meetings, including voting and public comment, via electronic means **without requiring an emergency declaration**. Previously, such remote meetings were only permitted during declared emergencies. It directly affects all public bodies defined under the Open Public Meetings Act (e.g., city councils, school boards, commissions), but excludes courts, juries, and political parties. Key provisions require that all electronic meetings remain open to the public in compliance with existing transparency rules (N.J.S.A. 10:4-12), and public bodies must still provide adequate notice unless using electronic notice during emergencies.
