Expands use of videoconferencing to purely advisory bodies

This bill allows advisory committees and subcommittees (which only provide recommendations, not decisions) to hold meetings via videoconferencing. Members attending remotely through video are counted as present for quorum purposes, enabling flexible participation. However, the law requires at least one physical meeting location open to the public that meets accessibility standards, ensuring public observation. The change applies specifically to purely advisory bodies under New York's Public Officers Law.
